Question: How would a swale in an arid climate look different from a swale in a humid (temperate) climate?
- Usually, swales look pretty similar in whichever climate.
- In deserts with well-drained, sandy soil, trees can be planted in the swale because they won’t likely drown there.
- However, fine clays can occur in deserts, and this could hold water too long and cause a problem.
