The guidelines for Soil and Water Bioengineering – put together by all the european associations for Soil and Water Bioengineering – aim at disseminate the basic principles, technical and practical approaches as well as the positive effects of Soil and Water Bioengineering.
They aim at building a contribute to the upgrade and revision of different european Directives, in particular the EU Water Framework Directive, the Directive on the assessment and management of flood risks and the EU Soil Thematic Strategy. They are also aimed at being an instrument for the dissemination and standardization of Soil and Water Bioengineering.
Besides its application in the domains of Soil and Water Engineering, Bioengineering is a critical instrument for the prevention and protection of catastrophes und is already recognized worldwide as a soft or even an unconventional alternative, to the traditional Civil Engineering approaches to the prevention and solution storms and floods.
We will update the content of this Guidelines this year, but for the moment here the restyled version
