The present invention relates to a hydrophilic revetment block constructed
on the slope of seashore, harbor, river, reservoir, dam, etc. Whereas
conventional revetment blocks are focused on their individual functional
advantages, the revetment block of the present invention offers a variety
of functions, namely, space for plants, conservation of ecosystem and
protection of lakeshore through wave dissipation and reduction of water
flow rate at once. On the block is provided a space for plants. The block
is constructed lower than the water surface to offer living space for
fish. Projections are formed at the front bottom of the block to prevent
collapse of a revetment block by waves or water flow. The projections
serve the purpose of stirs, so that people may have easy access to the
shore. The space for water outflow and fish growing dissipates the energy
of the water which flowed in through the water inlets formed at the
bottom of the block, thereby offering better stability.
