Soil erosion is a global environmental problem. It not only leads to a decline in soil fertility, but also may cause siltation of rivers and lakes, causing serious impacts on the ecological environment and agricultural production. In order to effectively deal with this problem, various engineering measures have emerged. Among them, woven geotextile, as an efficient and economical protective material, has shown excellent results in preventing soil erosion.Woven geotextile is a geosynthetic material woven from high-strength fibers through a specific process. Its compact fiber structure gives it excellent tensile strength and tear resistance, allowing it to remain stable under various complex terrain and climatic conditions. The application of this material in soil protection is mainly reflected in its good isolation, filtration and anti-filtration functions.In terms of preventing soil erosion, woven geotextile first separates soil from potential water erosion sources through its isolation function. In revetment projects in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other water bodies, woven geotextile can be used as a slope protection material to effectively prevent water from directly scouring the soil and reduce the loss of soil particles. At the same time, it can prevent soil particles of different sizes from mixing with each other and maintain the stability of the soil structure.The filtering function of woven geotextile is also the key to preventing soil erosion. It allows water to pass freely while blocking the loss of soil particles. This anti-filtration effect is particularly important in water conservancy projects, such as slope protection and bottom protection of river embankments, reservoirs, channels and other projects. The use of woven geotextile can effectively prevent soil erosion and soil erosion. Even under extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, it can maintain the integrity of the soil and reduce soil loss caused by water erosion.In addition, woven geotextile also has good air permeability, which helps the exchange of gas inside the soil and maintains the ecological balance of the soil. This is of great significance for maintaining soil fertility and promoting plant growth. In vegetation restoration projects, woven geotextile can be used as a covering layer or protective net to provide a good environment for vegetation growth and further consolidate the soil protection effect.In summary, woven geotextile has an excellent effect in preventing soil erosion. Its unique structural characteristics and functional performance make it an indispensable and important material in soil protection projects. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of application fields, the role of woven geotextile in preventing soil erosion will become more significant.
