Forebays are a form of pretreatment for open inlets. Energy of the incoming flow is dissipated, causing suspended particles to drop out of the water. These accumulated particles/sediment can then be easily swept or vacuumed during routine maintenance and doesn't end up clogging downstream biomedia or filter material. A well designed forebay will also spread the flow somewhat, reducing erosion around the inlet.
