Abstract: With the rapid urbanization, urban flood and waterlogging have been an increasingly serious natural disaster, which has been a prominent bottleneck restricting economic and social sustainable development. It is a key part of engineering planning for urban flood prevention to scientifically develop a set of reasonable standards of flood control, waterlogging elimination and drainage control, which could directly affect capacity of flood prevention and efficiency of urban drainage. In this paper, waterlogging, as well as the protection objectives of flood control and its prevention standards were analyzed. The scientific issues of coordination and linkage between standards of urban flood control, waterlogging elimination and drainage control were addressed. Urban flood control and waterlogging elimination are complex system engineering problems, which could be used to solve urban flood and water logging issues to some extent from overall perspectives of basin and region. The severe urban floods occurred in China in 2016 were analyzed and the successful experience of urban flood and waterlogging prevention were put forward.
