In order to study on the sustainable use of water resources in Foshan,based on the ecological footprint model of water resource,this paper analyzes the per capita water ecological footprint,ecological carrying capacity and four evaluating indicators of the water resources sustainable utilization in Foshan from 2011 to 2020.The results show that the per capita water ecological footprint,ecological carrying capacity and the ecological footprint of water resources per 10000 yuan GDP in Foshan is decreasing.In most of years,the water resources are in a safe state.When the rainfall turns less,the pressure of the water resources sustainable utilization turns bigger.The distribution of per capita ecological footprint and per capita ecological carrying capacity of water resources varies greatly among different regions.Some districes have a water ecological deficit.It is mainly related with the natural environment,industrial structure,water composition and population density.It is suggested that taking into account the distribution and utilization of water resources,Foshan has vigorously promoted coordinated regional development and further improved water use efficiency to achieve sustainable water use.
