This paper presents the results of a field experiment conducted in Kerala, South India,
to test the effectiveness of coir geotextiles for embankment protection. In the context
of sustainable watershed management, coir is a cheap and locally available material
5 that can be used to strengthen traditional earthen bunds or protect the banks of village
ponds from erosion. Particularly in developing countries, where coir is abundantly
available and textiles can be produced by small-scale industry, this is an attractive
alternative for conventional methods |
