So the four check dams will be 0.6 m high and spaced every 8.4 m along the swale. These are fairly close together, but this construction is achievable and the dimensions are not remarkable, given the change in gradient is an order of magnitude. | So the four check dams will be 0.6 m high and spaced every 8.4 m along the swale.
