An area of 956.1 km² is effected by soil loss in the Jiulong river basin, covering 14.13% of the total land area. Soil and water loss has resulted in severe problems such as soil degeneration, frequent drought and flood, river bed aggradation and damage to water conservancy facilities, which have been emphasized by the people and government of all levels in Jiulong river basin. The control targets of the Jiulong river are as follows: controlling soil loss from 200 km² of land during the period of "the 10 th five years", 300 km² during the period of 2006-2015, and 400 km² during the period of 2016-2030. For soil and water conservation in the Jiulong river basin, extending the comprehensive controlling patterns of small watersheds and harnessing orchard soil and water losses are very important.
