AN Le-ping,ZHAO Li-yi,XIN Ying,XIE Deng-ju(Tianshui Soil and Water Conservation Experiment Station,YRCC,Tianshui,Gansu 741000,China) The hilly-gully loess area is composed mainly of the fifth sub-region,involving parts of the second,third,and fourth sub-regions of the Loess Plateau.The major ecological environment problems in the region are short of rain,extremely dry,vast hilly gully area and intense soil and water erosion,which directly lead to the low quality of the local environment.Loss of soil and water,drought,low productivity and poverty are the prominent ecological,social and economic problems.We selected Dongshan village as a demonstration site,which is located in the Zhongshan river basin in the third sub-region of loess hilly-gully region.In addition to soil erosion control,rainwater harvesting and water saving irrigation techniques were deployed on the site as well.Meanwhile,many measures including cultivating and developing the featuring produces like grape,promoting water-saving agriculture,decreasing application amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides were carried out to reduce non-point source pollution.We established a comprehensive monitoring index,and at the same time,set up a special monitoring and evaluating index system for demonstration benefit using analytic hierarchy process method based on field observation and interactive interview.
