Check dams: May be constructed of any resilient and waterproof material, including rock gabions, earth berms, coarse aggregate or riprap, concrete or metal.  Stone used in check dams should have minimum median diameter 25 - 75 mm. For enhanced swales may be up to 0.6 m in height; the maximum design depth of ponded water should be ≤ 0.6 m. Designed for higher flow velocities should have spillways incorporated into their profile, to direct water to the centre of the swale. CD are usually installed between 10 - 20 m along the swale. The spacing of dams should not exceed the horizontal distance from the toe of the upstream dam to the same elevation on the downstream dam. CD should have energy dissipation and erosion control measures installed in the 1 - 2 m downstream. Examples include large aggregate or turf reinforcement Check dam and zuni bowl for the wild-life drinking water area for low laying linear / utility area.
