Bioengineering for Streambank Erosion Control. Report 1 - Guidelines.
1997
Allen, Hollis H. | Leech, James R.
The U.S Army Corps of Engineers is often restricted from using hard structures, such as riprap or concrete-lined channels, for streambank erosion control because of environmental reasons or high cost. Bioengineering is the combination of biological, mechanical, and ecological concepts to control erosion and stabilize soil through the use of vegetation or a combination of it and construction materials. This study provides guidelines for using bioengineering treatments in a prudent manner.
