Erosion TTool/Bank maintenance by grazing
From Triple Performance
The river banks are maintained by animals rather than mechanization.
Description
Benefits
- Allows bank maintenance without using machines such as backhoe loaders, flail mowers, or dredging equipment.
- Enables maintenance of hard-to-reach areas.
- Better water flow and reduction of flood risks.
Drawbacks
- Requires herd protection (fences along roads) and additional management (moving them forward, feeding them, etc.).
- Risk of health issues related to animal droppings in the water.
Implementation
Grazing agreement with a breeder.
