Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if any of you have resources or know of good ones to
introduce/ educate a civil engineer with swale and constructed wetland
design. If you know of any info or data on the total suspended solids
reduction through these methods, that would be particularly helpful, as we
need to design for improved parking lot runoff water quality as well as
reduced quantity. The project is in northern Utah/ Wasatch Front, in the
U.S., so semi-arid savannah/humid-temperate highland edge.

If any of you also know of any good generic swale details/ cross sectional
graphics, that would be really helpful too.
