English term or phrase: vegetated swales
• Runoff from areas without potential sources of contamination should be minimized (e.g. by minimizing the area of impermeable surfaces) and the peak discharge rate should be reduced (e.g. by using vegetated swales and retention ponds);

Explanation:
kanal/udubljenj sa vegetacijom (vegetated swale)

* Sa druge strane, pravilno iskošena i zasañena obala kanala (channel bank) (slika 6.) su više estetski i ekološki privlačni i mogu da se pokažu jefriniji za održavanje od betonskih kanala. Kombinacija obnovljenih močvara, kanala/udubljenja sa vegetacijom (vegetated swale) (slika 7.), infiltracionih rovova (slika 8. i 9.) drugih načina upravljanja koji povećavaju infiltraciju (smanjuju oticanje (reducing runoff)) i poboljšavaju kvalitet vode mogu da se sprovedu zajedno sa poboljšanjima sistema za padavine.

(4) Kanali pokriveni vegetacijom (vegetated swales, bio swales) predstavljaju plitke, široke umjetne kanale koji mogu skladištiti manje ili više zagađenu vodu s urbanih površina te ju provoditi u željenom smjeru bez izlijevanja po površini. Utječu na povećanje infiltracije, smanjenje veličine poplava i filtriranje polutanata i sedimenata, čime se štiti okoliš u gradovima i naseljima. Predstavljaju zelenu alternativu konvencionalnim sustavima površinske kanalizacijske mreže.

Vegetated Swales
Definition

Vegetated Swale (Source: Portland BES)
Vegetated swales are broad, shallow channels designed to convey and infiltrate stormwater runoff. The swales are vegetated along the bottom and sides of the channel, with side vegetation at a height greater than the maximum design stormwater volume. The design of swales seeks to reduce stormwater volume through infiltration, improve water quality through infiltration and vegetative filtering, and reduce runoff velocity by increasing flow path lengths and channel roughness
