F) Implement riparian buffers along the river. Riparian buffers are areas of vegetation along the riverbank that can help stabilize the soil, absorb excess water, and prevent erosion. By planting native trees, shrubs, and grasses along the river, the roots can help hold the soil in place and reduce erosion. Additionally, these buffers can provide habitat for wildlife and improve water quality by filtering runoff and reducing sedimentation.
