The unified settlement of the problems of soil and water loss and water utilization is the base for doing a good work on the comprehensive control of soil and water erosion on the loess plateau. For this reason, it is necessary to search for the integrated points, the feasible approach and key measures to reduce soil and water loss, improve eco-environment and raise land productivity. This paper just discusses this problem and presents some existing problems and potentials in basic farmland construction and the improvement of rainfall water use efficiency.
