stream bank stabilization

Stream bank stabilization involves implementing techniques to prevent erosion and collapse of river or stream banks. It aims to protect property, maintain healthy ecosystems, and ensure water flow stability. Methods include planting deep-rooted vegetation, installing retaining structures or rock barriers, and creating buffer zones to absorb energy from flowing water. These approaches help hold the soil in place, reduce sediment runoff, and promote the natural stability of the stream environment, ensuring the waterway remains sustainable and minimizes environmental impact.
