[Objective] Through a case study in quantitative evaluation of benefits from comprehensive watershed harness of Yao'an small watershed of Qingyuan City in Guangdong Province

we expected that some references for the watershed harness and benefit evaluation. [Methods] According to the disaster characteristics of small watershed in the province

the harness destination and actual situation of Yao'an small watershed

4 benefit types(flood protection and disaster reduction

soil and water conservation and ecological

economic and social benefit ) and 21 indices were chosen to evaluate the benefits from comprehensive harness of watershed. Methods of data standardization

among them

the disaster reduction benefits from flood protection and economic benefit were remarkable. [Conclusion] The indices and method used in quantitative benefit evaluation for comprehensive control were practical and suitable in the watershed of Guangdong Province.
