    Key features of the case study

    Alghouth this fluvial reach had been previously channelized, banks continued to be eroded during high-water flows. Since this area has been designated as a Site of Comunitary Importance, no traditional bank protections were allowed and therefore alternative bio-engineering techniques were designed to prevent further bank retreat.
