[[File:Storm drain protection.PNG|thumb|330px|Example of a storm drain inlet sediment control measure (sediment retention barrier) used at the bottom of an enhanced swale to limit excess suspended sediment from entering the storm drain outlet at the end of the feature. This type of barrier would generally be in place during construction activity and would be reviewed during construction inspections to ensure its operating efficiently and excess sediment is removed routinely (Source: [https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2020/01/ESC-Guide-for-Urban-Construction_FINAL.pdf ESC Guide, 2019]<ref name="example1">Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). 2019.

[[File:Simulated storm event in a swale.PNG|thumb|330px|The image above shows a simulated storm event testing indicator for an enhanced swale taking place at the [https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/metadata/case-studies/climate-proofing-social-housing-landscapes-2013-groundwork-london-and-hammersmith-fulham-council Social Housing Landscapes project located in London, England]. The simulation event occurs by calculating the amount of expected rainfall to occur during a 1-in-100 year event by adding water to the feature with a large municipal watering truck during a 1-hr. event at the same expected magnitude during a natural event to ensure the LID BMP is effectively conveying an filtering stormwater in a real-life scenario (Source: Connop and Nash, 2019)<ref>Connop S. and Nash, C. 2019.
