Coastal and Land Erosion

If applied correctly the Vetiver System could be an important tool to reduce erosion (by up to 90%). It can also reduce and conserve rainfall runoff by as much as 70%, improve ground water recharge, remove pollutants from water and reduce the risk of flooding. 

​

With coastal erosion a real current issue on the east coast of Australia, it is more critical than ever to consider alternative and environmental solutions to reduce the impact to not only the coastal wildlife and reef but also the coastal communities that reside there. Vetiver has the unique characteristics to prevent coastal erosion. It tolerates high levels of salinity and the deep roots and strong thick stems can withstand the strong winds and water prevalent on Australian coastlines.
