About this document
Vetiver Success in Erosion Control by Shantanoo Bhattacharyya is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses a bank stabilization project using vetiver grass and a geosynthetic mattress to prevent slumping and erosion. The bank had a crack and was slumping before the intervention. While the geomat failed to fully prevent slumping, planting vetiver grass proved successful as the slope remained stable in subsequent months. However, erosion continued downstream in January 2011 despite the stabilization efforts upstream.
