a general soil and water conservation survey was made in Zhangzhou City. It was determined that the loss of soil and water hasbeen severe

the damage is extreme

and the city sustained heavy natural resource losses. The main

naturally occuring factor that was responsible forthe loss of soil and water was the great amount and high intensity of rainfall;the range of highest rainfall varied from 160.3 to 273.7 mm. In addition

the steep slopes and undulating topography make plant and vegetation growthalmost impossible in this red soil area. Human factors were as dostroyingas the nature one in destroying vegetation

including inappropriate methodsof conserving soil and water

poor cultivation methods

careloss planting andunreasonable changes in the topography. A scientific plan to prevent soiland water loss is presented in this paper

and prevention system is suggested

in which biomeasures are emphasized.
