No. The water is not absorbed by the concrete. The concrete is porous which means that the water will move through the concrete and into the soil (the concrete is specially made so that water does not cling to the aggregate on top). Believe it or not this concrete cracks less than normal concrete. It also will never have black ice because water does not sit on top of it.
To those skeptics out there – this is a really big deal. Cement normally does not absorb at all, and instantly passes the rainwater to a stormwater system, creating a burden on the system, or passing polluted water to a stream or water body.
