Riparian

Riparian areas or zones are the interface between land and water, and the adjacent land if frequently inundated with water. In other words, the floodways of streams. Riparian zones are important topics in civil engineering due to erosion control, ecology and the large effect they have on aquatic ecosystems. Riparian strips refer to riparians and the vegetation growing there.

Research has shown that riparian ecosystems are vital to the health of all other aquatic ecosystems as they filter out pollutants from land runoff, prevent erosion, and provide shelter and food for many aquatic animals.
