Restoration of an incised channel in southeastern nebraska

摘要

Streambank design and channel stabilization measures incorporated numberous bioengineering techniques. Materials used for bank toe protection included strawbales, wood logs, stone, root wads, and various combinations of these materials. Upper bank bioengineering included coir fabric wrapped soil ifts, and live willow fasoinces, potsts, and ples planted in a number of different configurations. The presence of loess material, shale bedrock, and perched water table conditions made channel reconstruction especially challenging.
