SOIL BIOENGINEERING

Soil bioengineering with vetiver grass is a technique that uses the plant's unique characteristics to stabilize slopes, prevent erosion, and restore degraded lands. Vetiver's deep and dense root system creates a strong network that binds the soil together, effectively reinforcing slopes and embankments. This natural approach offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional engineering solutions.

The process involves strategically planting vetiver on slopes, along waterways, or in areas prone to erosion.

The vetiver grass acts as a living barrier, reducing runoff, filtering pollutants, and promoting the growth of other vegetation. This method is particularly effective in areas with heavy rainfall or unstable soil conditions
