Abstract: The relationship between Beijing's development and water resources is discussed. Based on analysis of historic and present conditions of water shortage, it is presented that bearing capacity of water resources must be taken as an important constraint condition of the city development planning in the future. It is found out that the development and utilization of the local water resources has approached to the limit bearing capacity of water resources by analyzing the level of development and utilization of water resources; and it is suggested that the development scale and speed of economic growth of the city should be controlled strategically in the light of sustainable utilization of water resources.
