A short time lapse of the swale making process and some of the benefits of slowing, spreading and sinking stormwater in the landscape. While these include flood and drought prevention simultaneously, they also include fertility maintenance as water soluble nutrients (and soil itself) is retained on the hillsides. All sustainable agricultures throughout time have held onto their water (thus their soil and its nutrients) through careful on-contour maintenance of crops. Ben Falk, M.A.L.D.
