Pollutant Removal Capability Of An Ecological Swale

As development and impermeability increase in an area, it can have significant impact on hydrologic and hydraulic process as well as degradation of water quality on receiving waters. In order to solve the entire problem caused by the conventional drainage system, a new approach has been introd...
