    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_dam

    Before installing a check dam, engineers inspect the site. Standard practices call for the drainage area to be ten acres or less. [3] [9] The waterway should be on a slope of no more than 50% and should have a minimum depth to bedrock of 2 ft (0.61 m). [14] Check dams are often used in natural or constructed channels or swales.

    They consist of a swaled drainage course with gently sloped sides (less than 6%). [2]: 19 Bioswale design is intended to safely maximize the time water spends in the swale, which aids the collection and removal of pollutants, silt and debris. Depending on the site topography, the bioswale channel may be straight or meander.

    This system proved to be highly cost-effective. Instead of a system of curbs, sidewalks, and gutters, which would have cost nearly $400,000, the planted drainage swales cost $100,000 to install. [6] This was also much more cost effective than building BMP ponds that could handle 2-, 10-, and 100-year storm events. [6]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_system_(agriculture)

    The checked surface drainage systems consist of check gates placed in the embankments surrounding flat basins, such as those used for rice fields in flat lands. These fields are usually submerged and only need to be drained on certain occasions (e.g., at harvest time). Checked surface drainage systems are also found in terraced lands used for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swale_(landform)

    A swale is a shady spot, or a sunken or marshy place. [1] In US usage in particular, it is a shallow channel with gently sloping sides. Such a swale may be either natural or human-made. Artificial swales are often infiltration basins, designed to manage water runoff, filter pollutants, and increase rainwater infiltration. [2]

  7. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    In the U.S., every plumbing fixture must also be coupled to the system's vent piping. [1] Without a vent, negative pressure can slow the flow of water leaving the system, resulting in clogs, or cause siphonage to empty a trap. The high point of the vent system (the top of its "soil stack") must be open to the exterior at atmospheric pressure.
