Particulate Transport in Grass Swales
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alabama conducted research on the effectiveness of grass swales for stormwater sediment transport to quantify swale hydraulic and sediment transport under relatively small flows. This research was supported by the Water Environment Research Foundation (Johnson et al., 2003) and the University Transportation Center of Alabama (Nara and Pitt, 2005). Grass swales are vegetated open channels that collect and transport stormwater runoff that can be used as beneficial alternatives to concrete gutters for stormwater management due to their advantages of infiltration and filtration of stormwater.
