River bank stabilization

River bank stabilization involves implementing techniques to prevent erosion or collapse of riverbanks, ensuring the river maintains a natural shape and location. Methods include planting vegetation to hold soil, installing rocks or gabions to absorb flowing water energy, and constructing structures like retaining walls. These measures protect nearby land, ecosystems, and infrastructure from damage caused by changing water levels and flow. Stabilization helps preserve the river’s integrity, reduce sediment loss, and promote healthy aquatic habitats, balancing environmental health with land use needs.
