Swales

 

A swale is a linear, mostly dry, vegetated channel laid with a shallow fall on its base designed to collect and transfer runoff during rainfall events. The vegetated surface of a swale helps to filter coarse sediments and pollutants from runoff allowing them to settle out and be retained within the swale which helps to slow down the rate of surface water runoff and increases opportunities for infiltration into soils.
