2.1.3 Tasks of the key control area monitoring substations of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are: Conduct monitoring on the dynamic variations in water and soil conservation included in the national- and provincial-level key water and soil loss control areas, summarize and manage the monitoring data, and prepare the monitoring report.
2.1.4 The monitoring substations shall be arranged in accordance with the water and soil loss type area and its key control area as well as the demand of water and soil conservation work. The monitoring substations of the province (autonomous region and municipality)-cross areas of the same type shall be planned integrally and arranged reasonably.
2.1.5 The relevant monitoring points shall be arranged in accordance with the water and soil conservation monitoring network plan of province (autonomous region and municipality) and the demand of monitoring work, and in combination with the distribution conditions of key control areas of the whole country and province (autonomous region and municipality). The water and soil conservation monitoring points shall regularly collect, reorganize (compile) and provide the monitoring data on water and soil loss and on its control trends, and the monitoring points are divided into routine monitoring point and temporary monitoring point in accordance with the purpose and function of monitoring.
1 The routine monitoring point is the long-term fixed-point stationary monitoring point, which mainly monitor the water and soil loss and its impact factor as well as the quantity, quality and effect of water and soil conservation measures. In the Grade 2 Type Area of soil erosion zoned nationwide, at least one routine monitoring point shall be set, and the plots and control stations shall be arranged comprehensively.
2 The temporary monitoring point is set for some specific monitor tasks, and the arrangement of its sampling points and sampling sections as well as the monitoring contents and frequency shall be determined according to the monitoring task. The temporary monitoring points shall include the water and soil conservation monitoring points of development and construction projects, the monitoring points of collapse, landslide, debris flow and sand storm, as well as other temporarily added monitoring points.
2.1.6 Before setting up the water and soil conservation monitoring point, the relevant basic information shall be surveyed and collected, including the geology, landform, soil, vegetation cover, rainfall and other natural conditions; the conditions of population, land utilization, production pattern and social economy; the type, intensity, hazard and distribution of water and soil loss; the quantity, distribution and effect of water and soil conservation measures, etc.
