Introduction
Soil erosion is a major environmental issue that affects agricultural productivity, water quality, and ecosystem health. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using bioengineering techniques to control soil erosion and promote sustainable land management practices. Bioengineering involves the use of living plants and natural materials to stabilize soil and prevent erosion. This thesis aims to explore the effectiveness of bioengineering techniques in controlling soil erosion and to provide recommendations for their implementation in different environmental settings.
