A Visual Guide for Constructing, Inspecting, Maintaining and Verifying the Bioretention Practice
Wet ponds consist of a permanent pool of standing water that promotes a better environment for gravitational settling, biological uptake and microbial activity.
Dry swales are essentially bioretention cells that are shallower, configured as linear channels, and covered with turf or other surface material (other than mulch and ornamental plants).
Bioretention creates a good environment for runoff reduction, filtration, biological uptake, and microbial activity, and provides high pollutant removal; bioretention can become an attractive landscaping feature with high amenity value and community acceptance.
Most stormwater practices were originally developed in the Piedmont physiographic region and have not been adapted for much different conditions in the coastal plain.

The actual installation of bioretention areas is much more complex than many bioretention advocates admit.
