What is it about?
Permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain. The term “filter fabric” is more expressive, but it has fallen into comparative disuse. Geotextiles are really fabric materials used in a “geo,” that is an Earth-related, engineering context.

Why is it important?
There are two principal geotextile or structure types: woven and nonwoven. Other manufacturing techniques, for example knitting and stitch bonding, are occasionally used in the manufacture of specialty products (The Bombay Textile Research Association 2012) (Fig. 1).
