Features: The loess hilly and gully region is a sub-region with fragmented terrain and high gully density, making it one of the most severely eroded areas on the Loess Plateau. Building dams to reclaim farmland is one of the effective measures for preventing soil erosion and developing basic farmland in this region. Based on summarizing the research achievements and practical experience of small watershed dam construction, this book systematically discusses the natural conditions of the region, the research and development process of dams, planning and engineering design of small watershed dam systems, construction techniques, operation and management models of dam systems and their evaluation methods, typical case studies of small watershed dam systems, and benefit analysis. It also predicts the future development prospects of dam system construction. This book is suitable for science and technology personnel and administrative cadres engaged in Loess Plateau construction, and can also serve as a reference for teachers and students of relevant universities and colleges.
