Scope note
Notes about the usage and scope of the concept.- The primary benefits of establishing bioretention and infiltration areas (also referred to as bioretention cells) relate to controlled runoff and pollutant filtering. Examples include rain gardens and bioswales. The main difference between rain gardens and bioswales is that the primary purpose of bioswales is to transport water from one area to another (often ending in a rain garden), maximizing the amount of time that rainwater spends in the swale to increase removal of silt and pollutants.
