[Objective] To explore the monitoring content

index and methods of silt storage dam at small watershed

analyze the benefit of warping dam construction

consequently serve planning

construction

operation and management of warp land dam preferably.[Methods] The 12 typical small watershed damming system were selected to set up monitor points

and use the methods of remote sensing

water and sediment observation

investigation

etc. To continuously develop the dynamic warping dam engineering

construction

soil and water retention

dam land use and its yield reproduction

safety of dam system in the different soil erosion type zone on the Loess Plateau from 2005 to 2010. We analyzed the relationships between silt storage dam construction and dam system configuration

slope control

soil and water retention

dam field use

etc.[Results] The dam system gave play to obvious ecological

social and economic benefits in flood and sediment control and rural production condition enhancement.[Conclusions] The dam system construction should obey the principle of combination of large-sized

middle-sized and small-sized ones with the key dam as the main and a small watershed as unit.
