A basic principle of good practice is to consider a range of alternatives in technical measures of bank protection proposal. There are several solutions of river bank protection and stabilisation. In the draft proposal all these alternatives have to be considered with respect the best practical environmental option. In this paper the overview of relevant engineering options regards to the most suitable and sustainable type of bank protection and stabilisation will be described.
