Abstract: Abstract The study of water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) has vital significance for coordination of water and society, economy along with ecology. The purpose of this paper was to analyze current concept and methods of evaluation on WRCC, then carry out the assessment and obtain the carrying status. Based on the review of research on WRCC, considering water quantity, quality and social economy factors, a comprehensive evaluation model was established by application of AHP-PCA method. Both subjective and objective conditions were taken into consideration simultaneously in this method. Binzhou City was taken as a case study to assessment the carrying status of its water resources. Calculating by the AHP-PCA Synthetic Evaluation model based on data from 2010 to 2017, it is considered that the WRCC of Binzhou was mainly affected by total population, total water supply and per capita water consumption. And the result showed that the evaluation values fluctuate between 2.10 and 2.75 in recent years, which indicated the WRCC was at the level of mild overload in this city. From the above conclusion, we learned that the sustainable development of Binzhou had been limited by the level of its WRCC. Therefore, some practical policies were provided.
