Chapter I
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Assessment is the evaluation or estimation of the nature, quality, or ability of
someone or something. Soil erosion is when a raindrop hits soil that is not protected
by a cover of vegetation and where there are no roots to bind the soil, it has the
impact of a bullet. Soil particles are loosened washed down the slope of the land
and either end up in the valley or are washed away out to sea by streams and rivers
Erosion removes the topsoil first. Once this nutrient-rich layer is gone, few plants
will grow in the soil again. Without soil and plants the land becomes desert like and
unable to support life. Coconets are made from 100% coir fiber twine woven into
high strength nets for extreme slope stabilization, protection of high velocity stream
banks and high velocity intermittent flow channels. The natural coconut coir material
perform very well in applications such as erosion control blankets for landscaping
(Cereno et. al. , 2011).
In Sri Lanka soil erosion is listed as the main environmental problem related
to land. Mulching is an effective agronomic method of soil and water conservation if
suitable material can be found. The objective of this study was to evaluate three
types of coconut fiber matting for soil and water conservation in an Ultisol of Sri
Lanka. This was carried out using erosion plots and soya bean as the reference
crop. The results showed that coconut fiber matting reduced run-off and soil loss
significantly. Soil loss reduced from 18.2 than in no mulch plots to 0.7 t/ha in
mulched plots during the 3.5 month growing season. Closely woven coconut fiber

matting was the most effective as it was dense and covered the total land surface.
The soil moisture depletion was less in mulched plots during the longest dry period
due to increased infiltration and less evaporation. Soil temperature was reduced by
4C when mulched with coconut fiber matting and the diurnal temperature variation
also decreased. The carbon nitrogen (C:N) ratio of coconut fiber matting was very
high when compared to a commonly used green manure species, showing its low
decomposition rate. The dry matter production and seed yield of soya bean was
significantly higher in mulched plots. With the long lasting characteristics combined
with biodegradability, these materials hold great potential for long term soil erosion
control (Mapa,2012).
In the Philippines, after a devastating landslide in Leyte, CocoTech (a
privately-held enterprise in the Philippines that produces geo-textiles from waste
coconut husks.) was hired by a private European organization to install coconets on
the hillsides and mountains whose collapse wiped out entire villages. In addition,
Cocotechs coco-peat products were used to help restore the farmlands that had all
but disappeared. Today, the mountains and hillsides are sprouting vegetations, and
farmlands are once again retuning to productive uses, albeit not as yet fully restored
to their original conditions. The most important thing is that land and soil have been
rejuvenated and will be in better condition than before the disaster (Ganchero &
Manapol, 2007)
In the study conducted by Bureau of Research and Standards (BRS) of
DPWH, results showed that the method of using Geonets (specifically, coconets) to
protect developing vegetation against water and wind erosion have proven to be
essential since it provides the soil surface with partial shading, moderation of soil

temperatures and moisture retention. These materials are prescribed to initially

stabilize the soil but without live plants and trees.the effective erosion control would
not be achieved. The benefits of applying Bioengineering techniques such as the
use of hydroseeding and coconets in accelerating vegetation helps control soil
erosion and stabilize the soil. With the use coco coir products as slope protection,
slope above the road will be prevented from caving in. Thus, damages triggered by
soil erosion on infrastructure such as roads and bridges will be prevented if slope
protection is present.
At present, the use of inert materials such as concrete and steel had always
been relied as for slope stabilization and soil erosion. The widespread of these
materials as stone riprap and concrete are now abridged due to its high cost. The
use of CocoNet Reinforcement in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran is not far from the
above stated. The stiffness of the soil may erode if non-stop intense rains arise that
may have an effect on the transportation, delivering of freight and a lot more
wherein it can block the roadway. The appliance of Coconet has a big impact on
helping to prevent from soil to grind down. Coconet promotes the growth of new
vegetations by absorbing water and preventing the topsoil from drying out.
This study was made to determine the capacity of the Coconet
Reinforcement wherein we can identify what should be the best soil erosion
prevention that could last up for years.

Objectives of the Study

This main purpose of this study was to assess the soil erosion prevention
using Coconet Reinforcement in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran.

Specifically, this study sought to answer the following objectives:

1. To ascertain the physical properties of the Coconet that helps to prevent
soil erosion in terms of;
1.1 thickness of the Coconet used;
1.2 unit weight;
1.3 number of twines in crosswise direction;
1.4 number of twines in lengthwise direction; and
1.5 water absorption
2. To ascertain the maintenance system applied on the Coconet
Reinforcement in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran.
3. To ascertain the problems met related to the use of Coconet
Reinforcement for soil erosion prevention in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran; and
4. To propose a new soil erosion prevention scheme for the soil erosion
prevention in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran.

Framework of the Study

The theoretical and conceptual frameworks of the study will be presented as
follows:
Theoretical framework. This study was anchored on theories that give
meaning and purpose to the basic considerations of the research.
One basic thought that primarily relates to the rationale of this study is the W.
E. H. Cullings Theory of Erosion on Soil-Covered Slopes. The theory states that
Slope erosion is, characteristically, erosion without corrasion. In contrast to all other
aspects of erosion, transportation processes occupy a secondary role; with
exceptions the actual movement of material on slopes does not of itself lead to the

production of further removable material. The exceptions, significantly, occur at

extreme positions, where the acceleration is such that falling rocks strike off
splinters; where transportation is catastrophic, as in land- slides; or where
increasing amounts of water herald a transformation to fluvial erosion, as in
sheetfloods. On the majority of slopes transportation processes can only influence
weathering processes in a negative manner; they are unable to increase the
production of removable material though they may, by their inefficiency, bring about
a decrease. Slope erosion is by far the least efficient means of landscape reduction;
if it were not so, diversification of the terrain would more closely reflect structure and
endo-genetic activity transporting agents on the slopes are performing below
capacity (Culling, 2011).
Conceptual framework. The main purpose of this study was to assess the
use of Coconet Reinforcement for soil erosion prevention.
The parameter of this study covers the properties of the Coconet
Reinforcement that helps to prevent soil erosion in terms of the thickness of the
Coconet used, the unit weight, number of twines in Crosswise direction, number of
twines in Lengthwise direction and the water absorption. The Maintenance System
and Problems met related to the used of the Coconet.
Figure 1 presents the conceptual framework of the study.

Importance of the Study

The researcher believes that this study will be the utmost importance to the
following:
Barangay officials. The results of this study will provide barangay officials
responsibility on their society that the heavy rains may arise, the Coconet
reinforcement with no plants grown is at risk. Landslide may happen.
Residents. The result of this study will give awareness to the residents the
capacity of the Coconet that anytime when heavy rain occurs, major disaster may
happen and worst can kill other peoples lives.
Future researchers. They will have this study as their reference in making
their own research study on coconet reinforcement and can improve more sufficient
and effective soil erosion prevention scheme.

Scope and Delimitations of the Study

The study covered only the soil erosion prevention using coconet
reinforcement at Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran.
The study will be confined to the Department of Public Works and Highways.
The main information in this study will be the Planning Section of the Department of
Public Works and Highways Office where all the reliable and needed data of the
Coconet Reinforcement are systematically stored and gathered.

Definition of Terms
The terms used in this study will conceptually and operationally defined as
follows:

Coconet reinforcement. Any coconut coil' fiber-based material such as

Coconets, Cocologs, Coco peat, placed in sloping lands and embankments to hold
the vulnerable soil and permit vegetative growth to control surface erosion and
conserve the productivity of the soil.
Soil Erosion. Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all
landforms most especially slope lands like from the Brgy. Sabang wherein due to
torrential rains the Coconet broke down that leads to major soil erosion that made
the problem worse. The major problem of the landslide is the stiffness of the soil,
wherein it was like a wall of soil that is prone for land erosion even if moderate rain
occurs.

Review of Related Literature

This chapter presents the readings and studies related for this study. The
readings will be taken from books, articles in periodicals and journals, while the
cited related literature below will be based on computer researches as reported in
research journals, thesis and dissertations.
The relation between the rate at which the parent rock is reduced by
weathering and the rate at which the products of weathering are removed provides
a means of describing and classifying the properties and behavior of slopes subject
to erosion. The two modes of erosion interact over a continuous range; at one
extreme the influence of weathering is predominant, and the surface of the
landscape is covered with a thick layer of weathered rock material; at the other
extreme the agents of transportation are capable of stripping a slope bare of all
removable rock fragments.

Within the transition zone the subordinate mode qualifies the performance of
the major by reducing it below the potential set by the given conditions. In neither
case can the action of one mode accelerate the activity of the other above the
potential asset, and to reach this level will require the elimination of the other mode
as an effective agent of erosion. In slope erosion we are concerned with a minimal
process of a type common to many fields of study, pedology (Liebig's law of the
minimum), chemical kinetics, and especially economic theory. In fact, by regarding
the agents of transportation as the creators of a demand for weathered material and
weathering as a means of supplying transportable material, denudation of the
landscape can be reduced to a problem of supply and demand (Culling, 2011)..
The rate of weathering depends upon a host of conditions so that its range of
variation is considerable, while the variation itself is liable to rapid, if not
discontinuous, change both spatially and temporally. This is in marked contrast to
the variables involved in the rate of material transport, especially where, as on soilcovered slopes, they may be regarded as continuous and of limited variation. If
denudation were merely a matter of transportation, a great deal of 230 the diversity
would be lost to the landscape. On the other hand, the existence of regular surfaced
landforms implies that transporting processes are able to assume a predominant
role. On surfaces of low relief and adequate rainfall, soil creep is the responsible
transport agent and supplies the dominant mode of denudation, with the result that
structure is masked by regularity of surface form. It is only when dissection
increases slope declivity, so increasing the effective demand of the transporting
agents up to the level of supply, which variations in rock resistance are able to

10

make themselves felt. A structurally determined landscape is one in which the

transporting agents on the slopes are performing below capacity (Culling, 2011).
A series of laboratory model tests on a strip footing supported by sand
reinforced by randomly distributed Coir fiber and mesh elements was conducted in
order to compare the results with those obtained from unreinforced sand and with
each other. For conducting the model tests, uniforms and was compacted in the test
box at its optimum moisture content and maximum dry density. Three types of
reinforcement, two sizes of mesh elements having the same opening size and one
size of fiber element cut from the meshes, were used in varying amounts in the
tests (Wasti and Butun, 1996).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the discussion of the data generated as articulated in

the objectives. The first section describes the basic information of the physical
properties of the Coconet that helps to prevent soil erosion. The second section
describes the maintenance system applied on the Coconet Reinforcement. Third
section describes the problems encountered related to the use of Coconet

proposed soil erosion prevention scheme for the soil erosion prevention.

Profile of the Coconet

The Coconet used in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran was the Coconet 400
wherein the water absorption is 163 Min, the uppermost among all water absorption
percentage in the three kinds of Coconet, meaning it has the strongest capacity to
prevent soil erosion . Table 1 below indicates the physical properties of the
Coconet.

Maintenance System Applied

Engr. Alfredo L. Bollido, Chief of Maintenance Section of The Department of
Public Works and Highways BDEO articulates that there was no maintenance
system applied on the said reinforcement only that they embedded the deeply
rooted grasses specifically the vetiver grasses wherein the roots can hold the soil
much better than the usual. Planting vetiver grass would have an immediate impact
on erosion. The other important function of vetiver grass is it forms a windbreak to
slow the force of winds sweeping up the bare hillside, so that native grass and herb
seeds would not be blown away and have a rapid growth of native ground covers
that provides the second line of defense against erosion.

Problems Encountered
On July 20, 2014 the entire Province of Biliran where hit by the Typhoon
Henry that brought torrential rains cause severe flooding in the Municipality of
Almeria as well as the Municipality of Naval. The typhoon also causes major
landslide along the National Road of Biliran and one of those is the Coconet
Reinforcement in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, BIliran. (Bandila, ABS-CBN News, July 21,
2014)
According to BiliranIsland.com (July 21, 2014) the rain experienced in
Municipality of Almeria (where Brgy. Sabang is nearest to) raised up to 26.67mm
the highest rainfall level in the entire Province, thus the Coconet Reinforcement in
Brgy. Sabang didnt carry the torrential rain. The reinforcement broke down and
cause major landslide.

15

New Soil Erosion Prevention Scheme

The National Office of DPWH, introduced to its DPWH Regional offices
nationwide the use Bio-Engineering Solution the Coconet Reinforcement as an
alternative way to prevent soil erosion. Yet the lifespan of the said reinforcement
can stay up to 2-4 years only. So, the DPWH Biliran District Engineering Office,
go back to its widely used soil erosion prevention scheme the use of Retaining Wall,
it is expensive yet long-lasting. Here are 5 benefits in installing a concrete retaining
wall: provides functional support for keeping soil in place; prevent sink holes and
eliminating the eye sore of dirt piles and hills; helpful in preventing flooding; reduces
maintenance and prevents erosion; and prevent damage to property or surrounding
structures.

Chapter IV
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDTATION

The study aimed to assess the soil erosion prevention using Coconet
Reinforcement in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran; determine the maintenance system
applied on the Coconet Reinforcement; propose a new soil erosion prevention
scheme for the soil erosion prevention in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran; and
ascertain the problems met related to the use of Coconet Reinforcement for soil
erosion prevention

Summary of Findings
1. The physical properties of the Coconet were thickness of the Coconet 400
mm; Unit Weight 1 g/m^2 is 400+20; number of twines in crosswise direction is 40
Min; number of twines in lengthwise direction is 40 Min; and Water Absorption is
163 Min.
2. There was no maintenance system applied to the reinforcement only that
they embedded the deeply rooted grasses specifically the vetiver grasses wherein
the roots can hold the soil much better than the usual.
3. The Coconet Reinforcement broke down last July 21, 2014 due torrential
rains brought by Typhoon Henry that cause major landslide in that area.
4. The DPWH BDEO go back to the use of Retaining Wall for it is finest
slope protection that could last up for years.

Conclusion
Based on the aforesaid findings of the study, the following conclusions were
drawn:

17

1. The use of Coconet Reinforcement could only stay up to 2-4 years. It is

not economical for lifetime slope protection because it is not suitable to change the
said reinforcement years after years, big amount would be spent for. However, if
using retaining wall, it may be much expensive than the Coconet, it could last up for
years.

Recommendations
Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, the researcher advances
the following recommendation:
1. To achieve the costeffective soil erosion prevention I can acclaim the use
of Retaining Wall, it has a strong foundation, strong materials and heavy-duty. And
if theres maintenance system applied on the Retaining Wall, we can realize the
picture-perfect soil erosion prevention scheme. Yes, it may be very expensive but
the effect is reasonable.

The use of Coconet Reinforcement is upright for it is Bio Engineering, its just that
not that long lasting not good for lifetime protection wherein it can only stay up to 24 years. The use of Coconet Reinforcement in Brgy. Sabang, Naval, Biliran was not
able to satisfy the soil erosion prevention wherein it broke down due to torrential
rain, yes it justify the lifespan because the Coconet has able to protect for three
years but not economical because
So to achieve the costeffective soil erosion prevention I can acclaim the use
of Retaining Wall, it has a strong foundation, strong materials and heavy-duty. And
if theres maintenance system applied on the Retaining Wall, we can realize the

18

picture-perfect soil erosion prevention scheme. Yes, it may be very expensive but
the effect is reasonable!
