THE USE OF BIOTEXTILES TO RECUPERATE DEGRADADED AREAS BY EROSION

The erosion is a process that results from the conjunct action of many natural agents over the grounds. However, this process can be accelerated, mainly by the action of the human being that has caused numerous degrading actions of the environment, depending on the level of intensity and from the characteristic of his intervention. Among the ways of degradation it is possible to stand out accelerated erosive processes, like ravines and gullies. These processes can be mitigated with the use of several technical and material alternatives, being necessary specific knowledge for the right choice, in each case.
