These are so good. Slows down the cars, improves the visuals of a street. Provides protection for people walking. Helps tap pollutants from cars before they get to the waterways, Helps stop flooding.
I enjoyed myself during a volunteer restoration project on one in Richmond, CA yesterday!
Thanks for posting. I can’t remember ever seeing a bioswale. There is not even a german wikipedia entry about them.
Am I being oversensitive nowadays or does part of the article sound like ChatGPT?
“It is important to maintain bioswales to ensure the best possible efficiency and effectiveness in removal of pollutants from stormwater runoff. Planning for maintenance is an important step, which can include the introduction of filters or large rocks to prevent clogging. Annual maintenance through soil testing, visual inspection, and mechanical testing is also crucial to the health of a bioswale.”
I could definitely see it, but unfortunately impossible to know for sure.
Its hard for me to detect whether or not an english text is written by ChatGPT. I’m not a native speaker and I don’t recognize the style of chatbots.
It would be naive to assume that Wikipedia editors don’t use chatbots as a tool to restructure texts.
