Zusammenfassung:	The role of reservoirs and dams, silt-trap dams in particular, in reducing soil erosion in the gullied rolling loess areas of the Yellow River Valley, and sediment delivery into the Yellow River has been studied. The study is substantiated from the viewpoint of geology, germorphology and mode of soil erosion, and on the basis of observed data and results of in-situ investigations.
