River bank erosion is worldwide problem and is increasing in the course of civilization due to increased human activities leading to change in channel. Prevention of bank erosion is possible through restoration with erosion control structure. Textile industry has developed products with such applications giving rise to geotextiles. One such application of geotextile is geobag. Attempt is made in present work to cater erosion of river bank in local region with geobags. Pre monsoon post monsoon assessment of erosion status was carried out with soil characterization and physical observations such as retention of vegetation. Paper discusses in detail type of geobag used with method of installation and soil retention observations of the study area.
