Abstract:
      The primary representations of the vulnerabilities of water resource in Hengyang basin where is a typical hilly region with red and purple soils in south China are analyzed: the precipitation resource varies greatly in spatial and temporal distribution;the soils and rock property are not in favor of water and soil conserving;the structure of crops needs a high water consumption;and the farm irrigation works are timeworn and frangible.Some management countermeasures are proposed: constructing new water conservancy projects and improving old irrigation works,intensifying the utilization process of surface rainfall sources,and establishing water-saving cropping-forestry-herbage compound ecological system.
