A critical assessment of the research conducted at he hydraulics and erosion control laboratory-a focus on rolled erosion control systems applied to hillslopes

摘要

Concern over erosion and pollution potential of human modified hillslopes has caused a rapid expansion in the erosion control industry. One technology that has seen the most significant growth has been rolled erosion control systems (RECSs). Numerous systems have recently been marketed to take advantage of this growth industry. Unfortunately the perfor- mance specifications for many of these systems is limited. The result is a specifiers or land managers nightmare, because they are inundated with a variety of product claims, but limited formal testing to make an informed decision.
