There are several ways the presence of water contributes to damage in asphalt and composite (asphalt surfaces on concrete) pavements. Being able to limit the damage to these pavement structures caused by the presence of water begins with an understanding of the sources of water.

NCHRP Web-Only Document 433: Limiting Damage to Flexible and Composite Pavements due to the Presence of Water: Guidelines, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, presents successful practices that have been used by highway agencies throughout the United States in minimizing the adverse effects of moisture on flexible and composite pavement structures at all of the stages of a pavement’s life, from design to construction, maintenance and preservation, and rehabilitation.
