Swale Performance for Stormwater Runoff
Swales are "engineered vegetated ditches" that provide stable routing for stormwater runoff. They provide a low-cost drainage option for highways, farms, industrial, and commercial areas. It is reported in the literature that swales mitigate the runoff-carried pollutants, reduce runoff volume, and reduce peak stormwater runoff rate that can damage low-order streams. EPA recognizes the reported capabilities of swales to reduce the environmental footprint while meeting the practical need to manage stormwater runoff. This research will provide a more complete understanding of how swales operate, thereby enabling guidance on the design, construction, maintenance, and monitoring to reduce the pollutants reaching receiving waters. Swales are one management practice that can help watershed managers better assure that receiving waters meet the "fishable and swimmable" goals that Congress outlined in the Clean Water Act, meet designated uses, and better assure the continuing supply of high-quality, potable water needed for human life and economic growth.
