the soil bioengineering is an applied science that it is the composition of structural, biological and environment concepts for soil erosion, sediment and flood control. biotechnical engineering techniques rely on biological knowledge to build geotechnical and hydraulic structures and to secure unstable slopes and banks. the largest enhancement in development of new soil bioengineering methods ...

Abstract Flood control initiated Chinese civilization. civilization has a long history, and ancestors invented “aquatic engineering technology” for flood water management, including the Fascine body, as early two thousand years ago.
