SABO is the science, engineering and art of sediment disaster risk reduction. It has no real equivalent in the Western part of the world, nor outside Asia. Although its detractor are often criticizing its impact on landscapes and ecological continuity, new solutions are today being developed, and one has to remember that it is a necessary response for island countries that sit on earthquake, heavy rainfalls, typhoons and heavy snowfall regions, even more so because short river system drain steep drainage basins.
