Abstract:The research of hydrological response to rapid urbanization area is of great significance to water resources utilization and water resources sustainable development. This article selects the Taihu Lake Basin as the typical area, uses remote sensing, GIS technology, field investigation and analysis to set up a river system model of water quantity of the Taihu Lake Basin for different simulated situations in order to analysis the hydrological response to land use/cover caused by urbanization and human activities. This study not only provides reliable basis for typical urbanized area flood control and disaster alleviation, but also has more scientific, theoretical and practical significance. Research results show that the changes of the underlying Taihu Lake Basin have significant influence to the hydrological processes and the rainfall amount is the main influent factors of the accelerating urbanization process, and the accelerating urbanization process has a certain influence to the changes of water next pad. Urbanization causes the increase of water stage, and the maximum of the increase is 4.6%.
