Riverbank erosion control at streams margin: from empiricism to soil bioengineering technique

The objective of this work was to analytically identify river bank erosion control practices at the state of Sergipe, Brazil, adopted by the riverine population or by the governmental actions through civil engineering and also soil bioengineering techniques.

Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this work was to analytically identify river bank erosion control practices at the state of Sergipe, Brazil, adopted by the riverine population or by the governmental actions through civil engineering and also soil bioengineering techniques. The studied sites were composed by the margin of the Lower São Francisco river, Sergipe river and Paramopama river in the Municipalities of Propriá, Aracaju and São Cristóvão, respectively. The riverine population have search to their own solutions through the use of low cost materials. On the other hand riprap has been applied to absorb the impact of water waves. The use of soil bioengineering has been motivated by immediate soil protection against erosion, and fast revegetation.
