water-permeable
Allows liquid passage
Water-permeable describes materials that allow water to pass through.
A water-permeable membrane lets moisture migrate from one side to the other.
Porous concrete and permeable pavers allow rainwater to drain into the ground rather than running off into storm sewers.
The opposite is waterproof or water-resistant.
