vegetative bank stabilization
Vegetative bank stabilization involves planting grasses, shrubs, or trees along riverbanks or slopes to prevent soil from eroding due to water flow or weather. The plants' roots hold the soil tightly, reducing erosion, stabilizing the landscape, and helping maintain natural water flow. This method is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and promotes healthier ecosystems by supporting wildlife and water quality. It is commonly used in riverbank management and hillside stabilization to protect property, infrastructure, and the environment from damage caused by soil movement.
