Abstract:Gully harness and development are a glaring problem demanding prompt solution in mountainous and hilly areas. Owning to the proceeding of gully head, the extending of gully bank,the downcutting of gully bottom,the collapse and the landslide, the gullies were allowed to lie waste. To counter this problem, people in the Water Conservancy Bureau of Pingdingshan City,He'nan Province have conducted an experiment to study the development and utilization of gullies in mountainous and hilly areas. Through the work for 5 years,the new harnessed gullies have reached a area of 13 727ha. The economic benefit obtained in 1995 was 4 647. 38×104 yuan. The study has provided a harness pattern for gully development and utilization in areas of the same kind.
