It is recommended that grass and [[enhanced grass swales]] be modelled using the 'Swale' element in the TTT. A 'swale' has to connect two existing elements within the TTT

For detailed scenarios of enhanced swales, the weir element can be incorporated for each checkdam.
  −
At this time weirs are separate elements, that must be placed within several distinct swales along a single reach.
   
[[Bioswales]] or dry swales, which have amended filter media, should be modelled as [[Bioretention: TTT|bioretention cells]].

The alternative is to use the 'enhanced swale' within the LID toolbox, but this incorporates fewer design parameters (and doesn't account for infiltration).
