Where
a cross vane incorporates two structures on opposite banks cooperating
to control flow, J-hook vanes are often constructed in series on the same
bank. This technique was implemented in the Seven Mile Creek rehabilitation
project to protect a bridge embankment from being eroded. |

Willows Willows are planted on the creek bank to reduce erosion and provide cover for fish. Their root structures hold together the soil of the stream bank, increasing its structural integrity. They grow very quickly and in dense patches, which hang over the water and offer shady cover. *Diagrams from Rosgen, D.L.
