  2. Drainage gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_gradient

    Drainage gradient (DG) is a term in road design, defined as the combined slope due to road surface cross slope (CS) and longitudinal slope (hilliness). Although the term may not be used, the concept is also used in roof design and landscape architecture. If the drainage gradient is too low, rain and melt water drainage will be insufficient.

  3. Bioswale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioswale

    They consist of a swaled drainage course with gently sloped sides (less than 6%). [2]: 19 Bioswale design is intended to safely maximize the time water spends in the swale, which aids the collection and removal of pollutants, silt and debris. Depending on the site topography, the bioswale channel may be straight or meander.

  5. Swale (landform) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swale_(landform)

    This archetypal form of swale is a dug-out, sloped, often grassed or reeded "ditch" or "lull" in the landform. One option involves piling the soil onto a new bank on the still lower slope, in which case a bund or berm is formed, mitigating the natural (and often hardscape-increased ) risks to slopes below and to any linked watercourse from ...

  6. Drainage equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_equation

    Theoretically, Hooghoudt's equation can also be used for sloping land. [8] The theory on drainage of sloping land is corroborated by the results of sand tank experiments. [9] In addition, the entrance resistance encountered by the water upon entering the drains can be accounted for. Definitions of drainage of sloping land and entrance resistance

  7. Grading (earthworks) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grading_(earthworks)

    Section through railway track and foundation showing the sub-grade. Grading in civil engineering and landscape architectural construction is the work of ensuring a level base, or one with a specified slope, [1] for a construction work such as a foundation, the base course for a road or a railway, or landscape and garden improvements, or surface drainage.
