For detailed scenarios of enhanced swales, the weir element can be incorporated for checkdams.

The alternative is to use the 'enhanced swale' within the LID toolbox, but this incorporates fewer design parameters.

A 'swale' has to connect two existing elements within the TTT. Where another element isn't specified an 'outfall' can be used.
