Bank erosion is the wearing away of the banks of a stream or river.

There is some siltation and mild to extreme bank erosion in areas due to agriculture.

Its roots, half-exposed by bank erosion, looked like a snarl of dirty hair.

Fringing vegetation can be useful in reducing bank erosion.

During the monsoon the river swells up and thus causes devastating river bank erosion.

Recreational boating and fishing have resulted in river bank erosion in the lower reaches.

It reduces bank erosion, maintains channel capacity and provides other benefits such as improved habitat for aquatic species.

The advantages for the conservation of the Broads are virtually silent operation, no pollution and a hull design which helps minimise bank erosion.

Sedimentation can destroy aquatic habitat, and high volumes of runoff can cause stream bank erosion.

Such dynamism means perpetual change and the two processes of bank erosion and sediment deposition are unceasing.

There was only minimal scouring of the riverbed around the piers, and minor bank erosion around the approaches.
