With the rapid economic and social development, China is in rapid development period of urbanization now. Urbanization is an inevitable trend of mankind development, and is also a necessary stage of a country moving toward modernization. The rapid development of urbanization has a major impact on urban hydrology. Urban hydrologic environment, hydrologic element, water resources and water quality were discussed in the pa- per. Based on the analysis of urban hydrological effect, from the angles of subject development and application, corresponding countermeasures and outlook of the urban hydrology problem were put forward. The research can provide support for reasonably planning and designing urban flood control and drainage systems to promote urban environment-friendly development, having certain practical significance.
