The expansion of cities and towns has caused a large amount of waters to be compressed, occupied or even disappeared, and the risk of floods in the region has increased sharply. This study is based on Hengyang, a typical city in midstream of Xiangjiang River. Based on expansion speed index and intensity index of Xiangjiang midstream from 2001 to 2016, the linkage relationship between the two is quantitatively analyzed, and the response of water system change under the background of urban expansion is analyzed. The results show that the urban development in midstream of Xiangjiang River can be divided into three stages. The urban expansion is characterized by a high speed and then a low intensity. During the study period, the total number of river systems showed a declining trend, and the channel morphology showed a shrinking state. The change of the structure of river systems was more severe than the change of the number. The basin with few river systems and single structure had a sharp decline. Urban expansion has a close relationship with the change of river system, and has a greater impact on the change of the number of river systems. And it is highly related to the basin with few water systems and single structure. It can be seen that human activities such as urban construction and expansion should minimize the adverse impact on such watersheds.
