Abstract: River ecological restoration is an important measure to maintain healthy rivers, and the evaluation of ecological restoration system is an important basis for the assessment of ecological restoration and governance effect. This study in Shahe Reservoir upstream ecological basin restoration project as an example, based on the relevant research on current ecological restoration effect evaluation, select multiple evaluation indicators, increase the monitoring of indicators before and after the project restoration, using mathematical statistics, the monitoring data, comprehensively evaluate the ecological restoration effect of the upstream small watershed. The results show that in the watershed after the ecological restoration, water quality has significantly improved, habitat species increased, and the ecological base flow into Shahe Reservoir is guaranteed. The research method provides a reference for the future research work related to ecological restoration.This research method can provide a reference for future research on ecological restoration.
