In the course of establishing resource saving society

environment friendly society

eco-civilization

and implementing international conventions

soil and water conservation monitoring shoulders more and more important historic missions.Some rules for soil and water conservation monitoring station distribution should be persisted in

such as fully covering typical soil erosion regions

making existed relevant monitoring stations the better

being convenient for bringing into automatic monitoring

making long-term running

and being in scientific and practical use.According to the rules

47 monitoring stations are established in different typical soil erosion regions all over the China;62 main stream monitoring cross-section stations and 55 key branch stream monitoring cross-section stations are selected in seven great river basins and the continental rivers and greater outflow rivers;and one monitoring station is established in each of the 42 state key soil erosion prevention and management regions.Long-term fixed orientation monitoring is achieved by the net of soil and water conservation monitoring stations of China

including soil erosion monitoring stations

hydrologic monitoring stations

and the monitoring stations for key prevention and management regions.
