1 INTRODUCTION

Currently, the Ministry of Water Resources of PR China puts forward several new advanced proposals about soil and water conservation. These mainly include the following five points: (1) continuous completing scientific conception about soil erosion preventing and controlling, (2) insisting prevention measures of artificial control and natural recovery simultaneously, (3) making overall plans of small watershed management of hills, waters, farmlands, forests and roads, (4) giving consideration to both the improvement of ecological environment and requirements of resource conservertion, (5) playing the comprehensive prevention model for soil and water loss by organic combination of precaution, protection, supervision, management and ecological restoration.
