ELOT TS 1501-10-05-05-00 Temporary erosion control structures utilizing locally available timber
The purpose of this Technical Specification are the construction techniques for small mountain hydronomics projects, utilizing locally available timber to avoid the creation of extensive surface run-off and then soil erosion.
Except for the containment of soil material, the temporary saving of as much water as possible, its gradual filtration and penetration into the deeper layers of the soil and the creation of favourable conditions for restoration and protection of vegetation is also achieved.
These structures are divided into contour log terraces and they have a maximum duration of 3-5 years. They are configured in the high areas of water basins where flooding is still small.
Please note that these structures are unsuitable for large floods and high flow rates.
