Effective Erosion Control: How Rock Bags Combat Scouring

Rock Bags in the Pacific Islands

Water is essential for life, but excessive rainfall can lead to significant environmental challenges, such as erosion and scouring. Recently, heavy rains have caused creeks to overflow and rivers to surge, leading to severe scouring. However, Rock Bags provide an effective solution to these problems.
