Research Progress on Ecological Riverbank Protection Technology
Traditional riverbank protection technology can effectively protect the riverbank from erosion and scouring of water and waves,and performs well in durability,stability and economy.However,it is deficient on meeting the needs of ecological aspects for riverbank,and may even adversely affect the river ecosystems and comprehensive service function.In recent years,with all-round development of social and economic level in China,comprehensive requirements for riverbank protection have been significantly increased,and the ecologicalization of riverbank protection becomes the inevitable trend.Through the analysis of application examples of different ecological riverbank protection technologies in China,the current situation and shortcomings of ecological riverbank protection technology are studied in terms of structural stability,ecological balance,landscape enhancement,implementation and maintenance,in order to provide reference for the subsequent development of ecological riverbank protection technology.
