A Stitched Shield: Geotextile Fabric as the Cost-Effective Solution for Soil Erosion Control
.jpg)
The fight against the loss of soil due to erosion is an endless problem in the fields of civil engineering, farming, and the environment. If erosion is not controlled, the migration of soil particles by water and air may result in a chain of devastating events, starting with the decrease of fertile land and siltation of rivers, and then proceeding to structural damage. For a long time, standard methods such as riprap or complicated concrete structures have been employed but these techniques typically involve huge expenses in materials, high labor consumption, and a great deal of the environment being affected negatively. A geotextile fabric comes to save the day: a contemporary, multi-functioning, and extremely cost-effective solution of this ancient problem. The basic function of geotextile fabric in erosion is to become a safe and protective covering that is applied directly onto the soil or ground that is highly exposed. This cover absorbs the kinetic energy of the raindrops and, a...
