Bank erosion can lead to land loss and increased sedimentation rates, which can alter the important ecosystem services of the water body. Currently, innovative nature-friendly approaches to bank stabilization have been encouraged over the “hard” civil engineering measures. In this study, the impulse for implementing an innovative stabilization technique arose when parts of the banks of the Hulín postmining sandpit were transformed into a two-meter-high erosion wall, and a technical stabilization structure was neither feasible nor appreciated by the general public for recreation or nature protection. Therefore, a new design of a so-called "half-bowl" sloping with additive nature-friendly stabilization measures SMs (grassing, willow cuttings, gravel bed, etc.) was tested. The evaluation of individual SMs consisted of: 1. visual assessment; 2. wave run-up modeling; and 3. granulometric analyses. All three tests indicated that a good degree of stability was achieved. At the same time, a comparison to biological (mild sloping with grassing) and technical (retaining wall) alternatives was also carried out. Both the low financial cost and relatively low land area requirements indicate that this approach offers a promising nature-friendly solution for bank stabilization in similar lakes.
