Watershed and Bank Stabilization
JET Filter System’s Maintainable Weep Hole Filters help bank stabilization of critical infrastructure by protecting natural drainage systems along banks and watersheds
A watershed is a natural draining system that channels water through creeks, into rivers, lakes, and finally to the ocean. During storm events, large amounts of water try to flow through the watershed at the same time. Fast-moving water presents issues with bank stabilization, causes flooding, and endangers neighborhoods. Stormwater travels to these locations to eventually flow towards a larger body of water.
When banks erode upstream, downstream waters and communities can be flooded with eroded soils that clog lower lying areas. To keep these natural systems working correctly, retaining walls and other structures can be used to protect the banks and stop erosion.
