[Talk-GB] Swales

[SK53]

Was just going to say I mapped one
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/698286143> at a new housing development
on the edge of Market Harborough a few years ago, but I suspect this
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/571404709> is one too. There are
probably a number of dry swales nearby along the Leen and the Daybrook. I
haven't mapped these but may have considered using embankment. I think most
new housing developments are likely to have something along these lines,
but perhaps not so obvious.

I also had a go at representing the sustainable urban drainage system
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/106956#map=19/53.38525/-1.46868>
(SUDS) we looked at before a pub meeting in Sheffield a couple of years ago.

For some the purpose is obvious, but for others it can only be inferred
(often in retrospect).

Personally, I'd find more images and explanations on the wiki would be
helpful.
