Institute of Geography Science and Resources CAS Beijing China Abstract Forest logging or reforestation will singnificantly influent the generation condition of hydrographes. The flood peaks and total volume may change with the variation of forest coverage. But it is hard to selecte a proper method to evaluate this impact quantitatively. In the paper a distributed hydrological mathematical model SWAT is used to simulate the hydrographies of the Shuomo River south-western China. The flood frequency curves are derived from the modeled flood events by this model. Based on the frequency analyses of flood events for different forest coverages one can find that the reducing rate of flood peak is about 35% at the most advantaged forest condition. The main part of flood reducing effect is come down with forest ratio in 30% - 40%. It has only 5% difference in flood reducing effect comparing with the most possible forest coverage 100%. These results mean that the optimal forest ratio for south-western China is between 30% - 40%. This criterion can be application in the planning of ecological rehabilitation engineering.
