Restoration of runoff water ditches / channels / swales with vegetation is the effective and environmentally friendly solution.
For effective channel restoration,
Need a strong channel liner
Channel liners with loose fiber easily wash away with heavy flows and are not suitable.
Shallow check dams
Tall check dams are unable to hold during heavy storms and create more erosion due to failing as well as water finding alternative ways
Effective vegetated channel restoration can be achieved using BioD-Mat woven bristle coir mats and shallow coir wattle check dams.
