Geomats Used to Control Erosion on Reservoir Margins in Brazilian Hydroelectric Power Plants

Erosion on reservoir margins causes losses in the production of energy in Hydroelectric Power Plants (HPPs), making it necessary to implement control techniques that ensure the reduction in sediment deposits inside reservoirs. Among these techniques, geomats (geosynthetic erosion mats) are widely us...
