AN EXAMINATION OF PROPOSALS FOR BANK STABILIZATION: THE CASE OF THE BRNO WATER RESERVOIR (CZECH REPUBLIC)

The design of reliable bank stabilization of streams and dams, functional from a long-term perspective, has been long discussed worldwide. For centuries, we have been dealing with the problem of depositing the flow-transported material and material from eroding banks or soil washed off directly to the reservoir due to surface erosion. The main stress has been laid on the minimum amount of this transported material and on minimized wash off into the stream channel. Significantly less energy has been put into reservoir bank stabilization. This problem is solved in this article and results are presented.
