The velocity parameter in a swale is an important consideration with respect to determining erosion possibility, potential swale lining requirements and help inform check-dam design & locations.
As it stands you cannot get the velocity result of flow through Swale stormwater control features. In order to overcome this you must either manually calculate it or model the swale as a trapezoidal channel, which then loses the various functionality that is there in the SWC feature (i.e. infiltration, pollution mitigation etc.). This also doubles up work associated with modelling appropriate designed swales.
Velocity results for SWC and other SuDS feature, such as swales, that convey flows from one point to another should be provided so that the results can be a 'one stop shop' and more efficient way to design.
Thank you all for your valuable votes and insightful feedback on this feature request.
I am pleased to inform you that we have moved this request to the "Under Consideration" status. During this stage, we will estimate the effort associated with the implementation of this feature which will, in turn, dictate the feasibility, priority, resource allocation and planning
