Soil bioengineering is use of live plants or plant parts to stabilize slopes or riverbanks. Use of soil bioengineering methods for controlling torrent, erosion and shallovv mass movements has gained importance since 1930s in the \vorld. Since rapid stabilization of methods is highly dependent on rapid root and leaf out of plants, summer precipitation is essential factor in soil bioengineering. If the methods are performed in arid zones, irrigation is necessary in the first phase of development until vegetation is well established. Due to the fact that only 11% of Turkey takes summer rainfall; soil bioengineering methods seem not applicable in the areas \vithout summer rainfall but in the areas, \vhich have irrigation possibilities, microclimates and natural leakages on slopes.
