particular site depends on the area, slope, and perviousness of the contributing watershed, as well as the dimensions, slope, and vegetative covering employed in the swale system. Vegetated swales are easy to design and can be incorporated into a site drainage plan.

Stormwater engineers frequently use open channels or grass swales to convey stormwater runoff. In some cases, open channels can be redesigned to provide significant pollutant removal. ... Filter strips are a slightly different form of vegetative filter in that they require the presence of sheet flow across the entire strip.

GRASS CHANNEL/VEGETATIVE SWALES Description The term "swale" (a.k.a., grassed channel, dry swale, wet swale, biofilter) refers to a series of vegetated, open channel practices that are designed specifically to treat and attenuate stormwater runoff for a specified water quality volume.

This study investigated the capability of two vegetative controls, grassed swales and vegetated buffer strips, to treat highway runoff. A grassed swale was constructed in an outdoor channel to investigate the impacts of swale length, water depth, and season of the year on removal efficiency.
