Gully density is an index to evaluate gully erosion and describe the sketch of gully erosion in a watershed.At present
some different approaches
such as grid approach and small spot number approach etc.
are used to investigate the gully density.However
there is no unique approach to be used by different investigators.Although these methods mentioned above can describe the existing condition of the gully erosion in a small watershed
it can not provide the antecedent information for the design of gully harnessing engineering.Nevertheless
the hydrological network approach
which can divide a large watershed into several sub-watersheds according to the gully characteristics
can give the same result of gully density in a watershed as the other approaches by combining investigation of engineering layout.Additionally
the basic data gained by using the hydrological network approach are in preparation for the later design of gully harnessing engineering
