Mark Stovall of Philadelphia (kneeling) led a special Thursday morning demonstration for MSU landscape architecture majors on the preparation of pervious concrete.

Representing the Mississippi Concrete Industries Association, Stovall also explained the modern ground-cover system's numerous other benefits.
