Water is the crucial factor influencing vegetation restoration and eco-environmental reconstruction in Loess Plateau region. In this paper, the previous studies on water eco-environment under vegetation construction were summarized from seven aspects, i.e., soil water resource, background of soil water, dynamics of soil water, dry soil layer, relationship between soil water and vegetarian productivity, classification of soil water position, and strategy for vegetation construction. Meanwhile, some problems in the relevant researches were pointed out and discussed.
