To the north of the Yangtze River are: Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Sichuan, Gansu, Xinjiang, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Beijing, Tianjin. The Yangtze River Basin refers to the vast area through which the Yangtze River mainstream and tributaries flow, spanning the three major economic zones of eastern, central and western China, with a total of 19 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. It is the third largest basin in the world and the mother river of the Chinese nation.

The Yangtze River is the most water-rich river in China, with a total water resource of 961.6 billion cubic meters, accounting for about 36% of the total runoff of rivers in the country, and 20 times that of the Yellow River. It ranks third in the world after the Amazon River and the Congo River (Zaire River) in the equatorial rainforest zone. The Paraná-La Plata River in South America and the Mississippi River in North America, which are located in similar latitudes to the Yangtze River Basin, have basin areas larger than the Yangtze River, but their water volume is far less than that of the Yangtze River. The former is about 70% of the Yangtze River, and the latter is about 60% of the Yangtze River.

Due to the large population in the basin, the per capita water volume is 2,760 cubic meters, which is only 1/4 of the world's per capita volume. The characteristics of the Yangtze River's water resources are mainly reflected in the temporal and spatial distribution of river runoff. The surface water resources in the basin account for 99% of the total water resources; among the surface water resources, river runoff accounts for more than 96%.

River runoff during the flood season generally accounts for 70% to 75% of the annual runoff. The distribution of runoff areas is also very uneven. The water production per unit area is the least in the Jinsha River and Han River systems, and the largest in the Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake systems.
