Weir elements may be incorporated as checkdams

It is recommended that all swales be modelled as a 'Swale', which has it's own menu button in the TTT.

Name User-assigned swale name
Upstream Node Name of node on the inlet end of the swale (which is normally the end at higher elevation)
Downstream Node Name of node on the outlet end of the swale (which is normally the end at lower elevation)
Length (m) Length of the swale
Manning's Roughness Manning's roughness coefficient
Upstream Invert Offset (m) Depth of swale invert above node invert at inlet end of the swale
Downstream Invert Offset (m) Depth or elevation of the swale invert above the node invert at the outlet end of the swale
Depth (m) Depth of the swale
Bottom Width (m) Bottom width of the trapezoidal swale (i.e., open channel)
For a triangular channel, enter 0
Left Side Slope (m/m) Left side slope (run/rise)
Right Side Slope (m/m) Right side slope (run/rise)
Seepage (mm/hour) Rate of seepage loss into the surrounding soil



Surface
Berm height (mm) This is the height of the curb which constrains the overland sheet flow of water. Where the bottom of the slope discharges directly into another LID facility without impedance, the value is 0.
Surface roughness (Manning’s n) Lower numbers indicate less surface obstruction and result in faster flow.

Suggested range for mown grass (dependent on density) 0.03 – 0.06 [1]

Surface slope (%) If the slope > 3%, consider using small Checkdams or weirs to permit temporary ponding, increase infiltration, and slow flow to reduce erosion.
Swale side slopes (run/rise) Suggested value of 3 or 4 if design permits Enhanced swales
