After the whole structure is built, a fastened tire blanket could be used as upstream and downstream riprap to reduce scouring or erosion on riverbed and protect the riverbank. This tire blanket should be either tied with the body of grade control structure or anchored to the subjacent soil. 

Hexibility, permeability and ability to cross-flow of water make natural geotextiles a good material to protect riverbanks and embankments from attack by floodwater and seashores from attack by wave surge. The favourable circumstances of natural geotextiles on the environmental are significantly more important wherever slopes to be protected are in contact with water.
