PROPOSAL OF NEW WAY OF EMBANKMENT MANAGEMENT ACCORDING TO EMBANKMENT VEGETATION PROBLEM

Abstract

Recent invasion and growth of alien plants have adverse effects on embankment management, such as structural damages and difficulty in river inspection/embankment examine works.

To solve these problems, first, the previous research works were thoroughly reviewed, and considered the type classified survey method of embankment vegetation to understand the current state of a certain river. Using this finding, we proposed a new embankment vegetation management method depending on the vegetation type, to maintain and if needed, to shift to the desired vegetation for the embankment.
