For humans, living near rivers has been important since the very beginning. As a result, there has always been a need to manage river channels, adapting them for human uses. In this thesis, I examined different types of fluvial erosion and explored options for protecting and stabilizing riverbanks to better resist fluvial erosion processes. Various methods of rigid and nature based bank protections are presented. By analyzing erosion events along the Sora, Poljanska Sora, and Meža rivers, I found that LIDAR terrain images can effectively contribute to assessing existing erosion areas. I focused on erosion events that occurred during the floods of August 2023, highlighting both poor and effective examples of riverbank protections.
