Based on the monthly rainfall data of 629 meteorological stations in China from 1950 to 2000, the waterlogging scope in the region from Qinling Mountain and Huaihe river to the South China is calculated with Z-index as the standard to determine drought and waterlogging, the laws of waterlogging’s occurrence and development in the south of China are analysed. The study shows that the waterlogging scope in the south of China has a slightly decreasing tendency. The most severe year of waterlogging is 1954, following it are 1983,1998 and 1961. It is also found that the waterlogging scope has an increasing tendency in half year ~around winter except November December and a decreasing tendency in half year around summer except June, July and August, these tendencies are more notable especially from 1990. In the meantime, the study also reveals that the waterlogging scope in half year ~around winter has an obvious variation period of 5~7 years from the late 1960’s, but in half year around summer the variation period is about 2 years.
