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

[[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).
