Revetment Mattress/Filter is the porous structure filled fillers in meshed structure so that it can use the fillers of various sizes and form various pores. The porous structure of the Mattress/Filter increases drainage so that it decreases the energy and velocity of flow therefore the tractive force is decreased and the erosion of revetment is mitigated. The filler of Mattress/Filter uses gravels, waste concretes and slags so that the surface is rough and the roughness coefficient increases and the increase of the roughness coefficient decreases flow velocity and tractive force.
On the other hand Mattress/Filter and vegetation are combined so that the increase of roughness coefficient and flow velocity still more progress therefore the effect of decrease of tractive force is increased after a few months have passed since the Mattress/Filter is constructed so that the vegetation is developed and be stabilized. The vegetation channel of Mattress/Filter is set up and the inspection comes into operation by varing flowrate and vegetation spacing to examine these characters of the Mattress/Filter. The coefficent of flow velocity U/U*' is decreased exponentially as vegetation desity aH' or λ is increased and the coefficient of friction f is increased as vegetation desity aH' is increased but decreased as the coefficent of flow velocity U/U*' is increased. The effective tractive force F0 is decreased exponentially as the vegetation desity aH' is increased.
From the inspection the results are obtained that the porous and vegetation structure of the revetment Mattress/Filter system increases the coefficient of friction of revetment so that flow velocity and effective are decreased therefore greatly contributes the stability of the revetment.
Aquatic plants grow in water with photosynthesis and purify water quality as taking organic and inorganic matter in water. Polluted water in stagnant stream channel where nutritive salts load is great can be purified by activities of aquatic plants. Aquatic plants should be fixed to bed easily to plant and sustainable environment is needed. So in this study, Mattress/Filter system is suggested to plant aquatic plant in stagnant stream channel.
In the result of study, coverage of Phragmites australis, Zizania latifolia and Typha angustifolia which planted in mattress was 78%, 62% and 82% and numbers of species in each mattress system were 7, 11, 3. The evenness index of each mattress system was 0.86, 0.91 and 0.79 and diversity index of each mattress system was 1.67, 2.18 and 0.87.
Removal rates of phosphorus at Phragmites australis, Zizania latifolia and Typha angustifolia which planted in mattress were 68.7%, 62.7%, 55.3% and removal rates of nitrogen of them were 79.8%, 74.7%, 64.9%. The removal rate of nitrogen was greater than phosphorus at all system and both removal rates were greater at Phragmites australis than at Zizania latifolia and at Typha angustifolia the rate was the least. Removal rates of PO4-3, NH4-N, NO3-N at Phragmites australis were 57.4%, 52.8%, 47.8% and at Zizania latifolia were 82.6%, 77.2%, 67.5% and at Typha angustifolia were 80.6%, 73.7%, 64.3%. It seems that removal effect is great by the planted mattress system.
