For over a century there have been many studies that describe the use of rain drop measurement techniques. Initial manual measurement methods evolved due to improved technology to include photographic and, more recently, automated disdrometer and laser measurement techniques. Despite these numerous studies, there have been few comparative reviews of the range of methodologies, and their relative performance. This review explores the raindrop measurement techniques available, and summarizes and classifies the techniques according to the method or principle involved. The requirements of a robust raindrop measurement technique are suggested, and these are reviewed against existing rain drop measurement techniques to provide a comparative guide to the use of the range of techniques available for any research study. This review revealed that while advances in technology have allowed many of the deficiencies of early techniques to be eliminated, challenges remain in relation to the precision of the measurement of the size, shape, and velocity of rain drops.

Permeable pavements are commonly used around commercial and industrial buildings to reduce the environmental impact. Results are presented from a forensic investigation of a permeable interlocking concrete paving (PICP) system that has been in service for over eight years. The aims were to quantify the sediment accumulation processes that occurred in the different pavement layers and to improve understanding of the change in the pavement hydraulic conductivity due to the trapped sediments. The majority of the sediment (by mass) was retained in the 2–5 mm aggregate bedding layer, irrespective of the pavement blockage conditions. While geofabrics are efficient at retaining sediment particles less than 33 µm in diameter, a maximum of only 8.3% of the total sediment mass was retained in the geofabric layers. Over 90% of the sediments were trapped in the paving and bedding aggregate layers. The beneficial role of geofabric in filtering out sediments and protecting the integrity of the underlying basecourse may not be significant enough to warrant its inclusion in permeable pavement installations. The PICP system was very effective at filtering and retaining sediments from stormwater runoff. While this resulted in reduced permeability over time, the overall infiltration performance of the PICP system was still satisfactory after eight years of continuous service. Des dallages perméables sont couramment utilisés autour des bâtiments commerciaux et industriels afin de réduire l'impact environnemental. Sont présentés les résultats d'une étude de type médico-légal sur un système de dalles autobloquantes perméables en béton qui est en service depuis plus de huit ans. Les objectifs étaient de quantifier les processus d'accumulation de sédiments intervenus dans les différentes couches de dallage et de mieux comprendre l'évolution de la conductivité hydraulique des dallages du fait des sédiments emprisonnés. La majeure partie des sédiments (en masse) a été conservée dans la couche de granulats de 2-5 mm du lit d'assise, indépendamment des conditions de blocage des dalles. Bien que les géotextiles retiennent efficacement des particules sédimentaires inférieures à 33 µm de diamètre, un maximum de seulement 8,3 % de la masse totale des sédiments a été retenu dans les couches de géotextiles. Plus de 90 % des sédiments ont été emprisonnés dans les couches de granulats du dallage et du lit d'assise. Le rôle bénéfique du géotextile dans le filtrage des sédiments et la protection de l'intégrité de l'assise de base sous-jacente peut ne pas être suffisamment significatif pour justifier son inclusion dans des installations utilisant des dalles perméables. Le système de dalles autobloquantes perméables en béton a filtré et retenu très efficacement les sédiments provenant du ruissellement des eaux pluviales. Bien que cela ait entraîné une réduction de la perméabilité au fil du temps, les performances globales d'infiltration du système de dalles autobloquantes perméables en béton demeuraient satisfaisantes après huit ans de service continu.
