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

For detailed scenarios of enhanced swales, the weir element can be incorporated for checkdams. At this time the weirs are seperate elements which must be placed within several distinct swales along a single reach.

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