he does this because when the water flows out with a gush water applies a force on the hose pipe pushing him backwards [like a gun backfires he holds it with a tight grip on it.

Where is the stream eroding the bank?
Stream Bank erosion is the wearing away of the banks of a stream or river. This is distinguished from erosion of the bed of the watercourse, which is referred to as scour. The roots of trees growing by a stream are undercut by such erosion. As the roots bind the soil tightly, they form abutments which jut out over the water. These have a significant effect upon the rate and progress of the erosion.
