Some of the benefits of riparian planting include:

• Protects riparian systems from livestock. It acts as a deterrent from any cattle that could destroy or pollute its waterways.
• Filters the water. Riparian plants help clean the water running through your property.
• Prevents erosion. It minimizes erosion problems, especially if you plant native trees such as cabbages, it helps strengthen the land.
• Filters pollution. Riparian systems can carry pollutants along the way, plants help filter out most of these pollutants.
• Moderates water flow. Using a riparian system moderates flow of water in your property, which helps prevent flooding.
