Understand Swales In LESS THAN 3 MINUTES

A permaculture swale on contour is a water management feature used in permaculture and sustainable agriculture practices. It is a trench or channel dug on the contour line of a landscape to capture and slow down water runoff. By placing the swale along the contour, it helps to prevent erosion, retain water, and distribute it evenly across the landscape.

The swale acts as a temporary reservoir, allowing water to infiltrate the soil, replenish groundwater, and provide moisture to plants in the surrounding area. This helps in improving soil fertility, conserving water, and supporting the growth of diverse plant species.

The design of a permaculture swale takes into account the natural contours of the land to maximize its efficiency in capturing and utilizing water. It is an essential element in permaculture design, promoting sustainability, and resilience in agricultural systems while minimizing the need for external inputs like irrigation
