Erosion Control
Erosion
Control
Soil erosion is a phenomenon of transportation of soil particles by
exogenous wind or water action. The erosion phenomenon starts as soon as the
first particle, detached from the rest of the soil, gets carried away due to the
impact of splash and velocity of flow. (19)
The
traditional method for controlling the erosion was by using a flexible
protective structure such as rip-rap or heavy armour stones, concrete blocks,
etc. (9)
The use of a geotextile filter can simplify construction of the erosion
control measure, where it replace several layers of granular filter beneath
rip-rap armour stones. (20)
