The system includes: a permeable ground surface layer; a containment area located below the permeable ground surface layer, and comprising an impermeable liner to collect the de-icing fluid; a reservoir in fluidic communication with the containment area for storing the de-icing fluid; and an applicator device in fluidic communication with the reservoir to dispense the de-icing fluid.
A paving element includes upper and lower surfaces and one or more drainage channels extending through the paving element between the upper and lower surfaces. The drainage channels include a substantially concave or cupule shaped upper portion, provided on the upper surface of the paving element, and a channel from the concave portion through to the lower surface of the bottom surface of the paving element. The drainage channels can be complete, when provided in the interior of the paving element, or partial, when provided along the sides or perimeter of the paving element. The partial channels are completed when the paving element is placed adjacent another paving element when forming a pavement. The drainage channels are adapted to facilitate the cleaning process of the channels.

In one aspect, a paving system for sequestering pollutants comprises one or more layers, at least one of said layers comprising a sequestering agent; and a fluid flow restrictor. In another aspect, a method of applying a sequestering agent to a paving system comprises obtaining a sequestering agent medium; and applying the sequestering agent medium to a paving system. In another aspect, the paving system comprises a piping layer for draining fluid from the paving system.
