A brief description of any bioswales on campus (vegetated, compost or stone):
Designed to mitigate pollution from the surface runoff water, a bioswale is a landscaping technique consisting of a narrow, troughed drainage course with gently sloped sides filled with vegetation or gravel. Bioswales are in use at both campuses, originally developed to deal with sediment carried by rainwater runoff following the construction of new buildings. At Interurban, the bioswale, which was added in 2008, helps reduce the amount of silt and contaminants entering the Colquitz River watershed. As a result of the restored habitat, frogs, red-winged blackbirds and other wildlife have returned to live in the marshy area close to Interurban Road.
