The production of electrical energy is extremely important due to the high consumption nowadays. And the most used way to generate this energy in Brazil for many years has been hydroelectric plants, in which a dam is used along a watercourse, generating an upstream reservoir, thus increasing the potential energy to turn the turbines that generate the energy. This reservoir can suffer degradation according to its characteristics, mainly siltation, thus reducing the useful life of the plant in question. Therefore, it is essential to combat or at least slow down the degradation processes, thinking about energy production and the environmental issue involved. For this, one can make use of environmental geotechnics through bioengineering techniques. These are non-traditional techniques that involve concepts and practices in civil engineering, agronomy and biology. And this work tests bioengineering tools to control the erosion of the Jupiá HPP reservoir margins, which avoided the continued erosion of a model slope.
