摘要：An overall research and analysis on past development track was of great significance for the further development of new theories, models, technologies and applications of urban flood warning system. Thus, the paper comprehensively discussed the development track of urban flood warning system, especially its structures and supporting technologies. From the analysis, it could be seen clearly that demands and technologies were two major driving forces for the development of urban flood warning system in the era of big data. Moreover, it was illustrated that new demands and problems had to be faced, and discussed how to meet them in the future by integrating technologies of big data and cloud computing.
