Thank you Editor for inviting me.
Reason for River Ganga bank erosion
- Animal trampling can remove vegetable layer and make an erosion.
- Steep slope river or high velocities of the flow.
- Decreasing the slope of the bank.
Following are the protection
- One of the most common soil erosion prevention methods is vegetation. It is the simplest and most natural way to prevent erosion control through planting vegetation Plants establish root systems, which in turn, stabilizes the soil, preventing erosion.
- Increasing the resistance of the bank, (riprap, concrete blocks, stones , plantation …)
Decreasing the slope of the bank Enlargement of the river bed Using the epis. - Control of animal on river bank.
- Tree planting or Heggerow
- Another common option for erosion control is one of our erosion control mats. These soil erosion mats are typically made from either a coconut coir fiber, straw, or wood fiber material that helps to stabilize the soil while naturally biodegrading over time.

In lower stream of Ganga , there is hardly any steep slope and the velocity of flow is slow, rather very slow. Animal trampling can be prevented. Vetiver grass plantation may work most effectively as the ecosystem based preventive action for long term result.
