REGIONAL APPLICATIONS FOR BIOTECHNICAL METHODS OF STREAMBANK STABILIZATION IN TEXAS: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Using current literature and by reviewing current practice, this project will identify bioengineering and biotechnical streambank stabilization technologies appropriate to the climatic and resource regions of Texas. Concurrently, selected Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) districts will be surveyed to determine the types and extent of streambank erosion problems that would be amenable to bioengineering or biotechnical solutions. Based on this information, an evaluation of the potential cost effectiveness of various methods will be prepared along with recommendations for the development of demonstration projects as a means of transferring the research findings into practice. Project results will be provided in a research report. Technical materials will be prepared in the TxDOT "on-line" document format for later insertion in the TxDOT On-line Design Manual.
