Abstract: Water resource shortage has become one of the important factors restricting the economic development and social stability of Beijing City, and the coordinated development of urbanization and the utilization of water resources has attracted much attention. Reasonable ecological water use can keep plants growing well and be beneficial to the rational allocation of water resources. A study on realizing the rational use of water resources in the green space ecosystem was conduced. Based on the quantitative analysis of the relationship between Beijing’s urbanization and ecological water use and the water resource utilization of green space ecosystem from 2001 to 2015, optimization measures for the water cycle of the green space ecosystem were proposed. The results show that ecological water use in Beijing has shown a significant upward trend with the development of urbanization. Green space ecosystem is the main consumer of urban ecological water, and insufficient utilization of rainwater resources is an important reason for the expansion of ecological water use. The study results provide several lessons for policy,practice and research in order to ensure Beijing’s urbanization and sustainable utilization of water resources.

Key words: urbanization, ecological water use, green space ecosystem, water cycle, Beijing City
