Abstract:Sediment dredging has been an ever‐growing issue, especially in developing nations with high demand for concrete filler material. River systems are adversely affected by sediment mining, resulting in decreased stability of the riverbed and riverbanks. Nature‐based solutions for riverbank erosion have been a research topic that has led to the proposal of vegetation on the riverbanks. However, little is known about the extent of riverbank vegetation required to negate the devastating effects of sediment mining b… Show more
