The most common ways of preventing erosion are to spread straw and plant a cover crop. Everything else is just some variation on that. Using vegetation to stabilize and control or minimize erosion problems near streambanks and their immediate upslope area is less expensive than repairing erosion-caused damage. Translation: Sow grass and clover or something like that. Trefoil, whatever. Techniques to stabilize streambanks work by either reducing the force of the flowing water, by increasing the resistance of the bank to erosional forces, or by a combination of the two. Translation: Spread straw or something on bare ground ... wood chips, rip rap, whatever. Using words like riparian, buffer, bioengineering, etc doesn't make it rocket science.
