Featured product: Soil-reinforcement geotextiles
------------------------------------------------------

One of the important but often-overlooked ways to keep water clean is to 
keep construction debris and soil from getting into rivers and streams. 
Runoff from construction sites and ordinary erosion is responsible for 
far more water pollution than many people realize -- and compounding the 
effect is the loss of vegetation when streambanks collapse, since some 
forms of vegetation can have a very strong pollution-reducing effect. 
Soil-reinforcement geotextiles can be extremely effective at anchoring 
soils in place to help provide stability and improve nature's ability to 
keep water clean.
