Integrated Bank Protection: Ecological Concepts of Streambank Protection

Publication: Engineering Approaches to Ecosystem Restoration

Abstract

Integrated Bank Protection is process for the design of streambank protection projects that protect and restore aquatic habitats. It is the assimilation of six concepts into the planning and design of river bank protection projects; mechanism of failure, cause of failure, risks of erosion and stabilization, and habitat condition and needs. Design tools are suggested for assessment of bank protection needs and selection of bank protection techniques. Concepts of lost opportunity impacts, channel confinement and shear stress/erodibility analyses are discussed.
