Abstrakt: The urbanization process is a trend occurring inevitably in the historical development. This paper reviews the progress of the urbanization in Guangzhou and focuses on the change of water quality in the Guangzhou reach of the Pearl River. 8 kinds of main pollutant parameters were collected from 9 important sections in the Guangzhou reach of the Pearl River from 1986 to 2000 and the water quality change was analyzed per time and space. The study concludes that the surface water quality of Guangzhou reflects the severely polluted trend from 1986 to 2000 and the water quality in suburban is obviously worsened when it flows into the city. The policies focus on solving the problems eventually, which are helpful to promote the urbanization processes in a scientific manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
