In order to carry out risk assessment for the development and utilization of riverbank of the Yangtze River and further strengthen the management and protection of rivers and lakes

this article considers the actual situations from 5 aspects including flood control

ecological environment

water pollution

riverbank management

and high-quality socio-economic development

constructs a risk assessment system for the development and utilization of riverbank including 20 eva-luation indicators such as river stability

benthic animal diversity

water function zone compliance rate

river chief system implementation

and intensive utilization of the riverbank. Based on the improved grey fuzzy evaluation method

it evaluates the riverbank development and utilization risks of 35 functional areas along the Wuhan section.The evaluation results indicate that there are certain risks in flood control

water pollution

and high-quality socio-economic development in areas such as the Hanwu Water Plant water source area

Dunkou water source area

Xiaojunshan

and Yangluo Port area of Wuhan Port in the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River. The article further proposes corresponding control measures based on the evaluation results

and the main research content and conclusions can provide support for the spatial control of the riverbank in the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River.
