The solution is to sacrifice some land to create a gentle slope that will allow flow to wash up it rather than batter against it. Willow, which will root quickly and grow, will be woven along the banks and low scrub vegetation encouraged beween the rows of willow. Roots will bind the soil, foliage will slow down the flow in high levels and the basketwork will act as a protection while nature establishes itself. The whole thing will create new habitat as well as protecting the bank.
