Grassed waterways

Grassed waterways are engineered channels planted with grass that help direct excess water safely across fields or landscapes. They are designed to prevent erosion, reduce runoff, and protect water quality by guiding rainwater or melting snow in a controlled manner. The dense grass cover slows down water flow, allowing sediments to settle and impurities to be filtered out. Often used in agricultural or rural areas, grassed waterways are a natural, cost-effective solution to manage stormwater, minimize erosion, and support conservation efforts, ensuring lands remain productive and environmentally healthy.
