... NCHRP Project 01-54 was initiated to provide a concise, practical guide with accompanying training materials and technical tools to facilitate access to effective strategies in minimizing damage due to the presence of water in asphalt and composite pavements. The following objectives for NCHRP Project 01-54 formed the basis for the work: • Develop guidelines detailing strategies to limit damage to flexible and composite pavements due to the presence of water.

... Both surveys included questions about experience and practices for mitigating damage due to the presence of water. The surveys were organized to solicit information about experience in mitigating damage, roadway geometry requirements, drainage design details, pavement structural design requirements, material selection, pavement condition assessment, construction practices, drainage and pavement preservation and rehabilitation treatments, and an overall assessment of key activities for mitigating damage in asphalt and composite pavements due to the presence of water.

... The results from the thirty-nine responding highway agencies in the United States and Canada are summarized in Appendix D, and two example agency checklists for pavement design are presented in Appendix E The results from the 12 responding industry organizations (representing asphalt and concrete pavement associations and material suppliers)
