Bio-swale Category
Bio-swales are engineered landscape elements designed to manage stormwater runoff by filtering pollutants and facilitating groundwater recharge. These vegetated channels slow water flow, promoting sediment deposition and nutrient absorption through native plants and soil microorganisms. Effective bio-swales reduce urban flooding, improve water quality, and enhance habitat connectivity in urban environments. Integrating permeable materials and organic matter, bio-swales contribute significantly to sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS).
