Drainage Swale definition

Drainage Swale means a natural or constructed waterway, usually broad and shallow, covered with erosion-resistant grasses, used to conduct surface water from a field, diversion or other site feature.
Drainage Swale. An open channel that is usually grass lined that collects water from hard surfaces and allows it to percolate in the ground, reducing the amount of runoff leaving the roadway.
Drainage Swale means any course of concentrated drainage water that has formed over time by either natural or man-made forces and where the flow of water is either at or near ground surface with no significant subsurface flow component. Also included in this definition are facilities used for the treatment and/or dispersal of roof runoff or other site drainage, such as vegetated swales and infiltration/percolation trenches or basins.
