Bank stabilization refers to the methods used to protect riverbanks and shorelines from erosion and degradation. This process often involves the use of natural materials, such as rocks, vegetation, and soil, to create a more resilient bank structure. By stabilizing banks, communities can prevent flooding, protect habitats, and maintain water quality. Various techniques are employed in bank stabilization, including riprap, bioengineering, and vegetative plantings. These approaches aim to reduce the impact of water flow on the banks, ensuring that they remain intact over time. Effective bank stabilization is crucial for preserving ecosystems and supporting local infrastructure.
