DEF ... an easy-sided drainage trench through a park or lawn. Source

CONT Swales are a common drainage technique. They are simply shallow water channels, usually grassed, that are always wider than they are deep. Their function is to direct surface water run-off to other parts of the drainage system, such as catch basins, drain inlets, ditches or retention ponds. One advantage of swales is that some of the surface run-off percolates into the soil, which tends to both reduce run-off volume and add to the ground water supply. Swales should be constructed with gradually sloping sides and rounded edges so that they blend into the site and are easy to upkeep. Source
