Controlling surface water runoff is one way to maintain environmental sustainability. Rainwater on the road surface is one of the problems that must be controlled. Most road surfaces are covered with waterproof material so that rainwater cannot infiltrate into the ground, which then accumulates and causes flooding. This research aims to study porous concrete paving blocks to prevent flooding. This paving block material is made from a coarse aggregate of 4 – 9.5 mm as the main component for making porous concrete paving blocks with height variations of 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm. Concrete Paving Block is used to compare the performance of Porous Concrete Paving Block. Compression, porosity, and infiltration rate tests have been carried out to see its characteristics. Based on tests that have been carried out, porous concrete paving blocks have a porosity ranging from 19 - 23% and an infiltration rate ranging from 0.17 - 0.42 cm/second; however, porous concrete paving blocks experience a decrease in compressive strength of 58 - 60% when compared to concrete paving blocks conventional.
