This chapter presents a preliminary study on the vulnerability of the Chongqing City to water-related hazards. The focus is on the factors that cause its vulnerability. The findings suggest that the root of its flood-related vulnerability may be the combination of its riparian development and the construction of the Three Gorges Dam downstream of the city.
