A swale is also a low portion of land that is often wet[1]. It is often deliberately contoured into the land for storm water management. Eavestroughs empty into swales which direct the rainwater away from building foundations. The swales allows the rainwater to soak into the ground. Swales are often placed at property line boundaries.
