Environmentally-Sensitive Streambank Stabilization

摘要

Redirective bank protection techniques, e.g., Rock Vanes, Bendway Weirs, are environmentally-sensitive as they provide substrate complexity and direct high velocities off the bank. The use of stone which is well-graded and sized to self-rnlaunching can eliminate the need to excavate and destroy the channel bottom. The heavy equipment work can then proceed from the bank such that turbidity and sedimentation levels will not significantly increase.
