Dam at water storage lake protected by Vetiver
Water storage bassin with steep sloped dam Vetiver protection after only 7 month
This water storage bassin near Velez-Malaga with about 40 million liters capacity has a very steep – almost 1:1 – outside slope. The material is completely loose landfill. To protect this 5 rows of vetiver at a 25 cm spacing have been planted. Ideally it should have been 3 times as many rows. Which the owner did not support.
It was planted very late so the vetiver plants were dormant over the winter and the started to grow in spring.
Progress will be documented in future posts.

Beach Erosion Protection
Less then 2 meters of dune left until the garden, which is lower, will be flooded with salty sea water. 
Vetiver for the stabilization and restoration of the sand dune.
The garden behind the rest of the formerly big sand dune is lower. Less than 2 meters and the garden will be flooded with salty water in winter storms.
The following slides are from a PDF that can be downloaded here from vetiver.org. It will be linked in a better place later and is just for demonstration for now. as
Landslide above new Terrace
Unfortunately we did not manage to plant the top edge Vetiver in time as we did with the lower edges of both terraces. And in an extreme rain event the fresh and still very loose slope above the terrace and below the vegetable garden collapsed.
