Control of bank erosion
Streambank erosion happens due to a larger flow
of river or stream water during the rainy season that cuts a chunk of soil from
the river or stream bank. Repeated cutting of chunks of soil weakens the banks
and allow it to erode more with complete demolishing of the embankments. There
are several ways to control bank erosion by construction of concrete
structures, gabions, wooden logs, live vegetation, coir mat, synthetic mat,
coconut coir logs along river embankments.
