bioswales can be implemented in areas that require stormwater management to regulate the runoff velocity and decontaminate the runoff. bioswales are created to handle the first flush of pollutants during the event of rain, therefore, locations that have high areas of impervious surface such as roads, parking lots, or rooftops can benefit from additions of bioswales. they can also be integrated into road medians, curb cutouts, sidewalks, or any public space.
