Vegetated swaled are conforered proceed to manage stormwater runoff.

Design and Functionalityof Vegetated Swales

Vegetated swales are typically shallow, witee channels planted with gracies or other pare hary planth. Their deasms o immize water influtraon and retention.

Quantitative Measures of Effectiveness
