Definition
A shallow trench dug on contour to slow, spread, and sink water into the soil.
Interpretation
A swale is like teaching land to drink deeply instead of gulping and spilling. It captures rain and holds it long enough for roots and microbes to sip slowly. Swales are land-level lines of hydration
Living Invitation
Use a level or hose to find contour in your yard. Imagine where a swale could run.
