Bioswale

A bioswale is a thoughtfully designed landscape feature that helps manage stormwater runoff. It typically consists of a shallow, vegetated depression that slows down rainwater, allowing it to filter through plants, soil, and mulch before reaching waterways. Bioswales reduce flooding, improve water quality by filtering pollutants, and promote groundwater recharge. They are used in urban and suburban areas to create environmentally friendly stormwater solutions, blending functionality with natural aesthetics. Properly maintained, bioswales support healthy ecosystems while protecting infrastructure from water damage.
