Concrete check dams in AustriaA steel check damA common application of check dams is in bioswales, which are artificial drainage channels that are designed to remove silt and pollution from runoff.
A check dam is a small, sometimes temporary, dam constructed across a swale, drainage ditch, or waterway to counteract erosion by reducing water flow velocity.[1] Check dams themselves are not a type of new technology; rather, they are an ancient technique dating from the second century AD.[2] Check dams are typically, though not always, implemented in a system of several dams situated at regular intervals across the area of interest.[3]
