In this research, with basins of Huanghe River, Haihe River and Huaihe River (the HHH basins)as a case, and make the ecological and environmental factors coupled with social economic wateractivities in water use systems as object, a multi-basin ecological network model was constructed and method of ecological network analysis was applied. Through calculations of whole system network indicators, the evolution of network structure characteristics for the HHH basins during 2003 to 2014 wasanalyzed. The results showed that, during 2003 to 2014, due to the implementation of some effective measures for sustainable water use in periods of the 11th Five-Year Plan and the 12th Five-Year Plan, the pressure and disturbance on water use networks from outside of the boundary had lessened and system became more stable. However, the shortage in requirement of environmental flow was still serious in this area. Therefore, much work need to be further studied in the future toward the sustainable development of water use systems.
