Swale construction is the process of creating shallow, vegetated channels designed to manage stormwater runoff, reduce erosion, and promote groundwater recharge. Swales are typically used in both urban and rural landscapes to capture and slow down water flow, allowing it to infiltrate the soil rather than running off into storm drains or nearby bodies of water. The construction process includes excavating the swale to the desired depth and slope, lining it with a layer of gravel or other permeable materials, and planting vegetation to stabilize the soil and filter pollutants. Swales are an essential component of sustainable drainage systems, helping to manage stormwater in a way that protects the environment and reduces the impact of heavy rainfall on the landscape.
