The invention discloses a hydropower station drainage basin dividing and face rainfall monitoring method based on a GIS. The GIS is used for finely dividing a hydropower station drainage basin, a monitoring zone is determined, an automatic meteorological station is used for obtaining real-time rainfall information, face rainfall of divided drainage basins is monitored in real time and issued online through the network, and important references for decisions are provided for carrying out short-period stair zone flow forecasting, stair hydroelectric optimal operation and adding of the hydroelectric power quantity of a plant grid. The flow of hydropower stations of all levels and the hydropower outputting information are used for achieving the function of comparing and analyzing the difference between the flow into a reservoir and the flow out of the reservoir in a hydropower station zone, directly-called hydropower outputting and inter-zone face rainfall. The function of comprehensively comparing and analyzing the hourly rainfall, the temperature documents and electrical loads of all grid zones is achieved by combining with real-time weather and information on the electrical loads of automatic meteorological stations belonging to administrations of power supply of all prefectural regions. Favorable analysis manners are provided for work such as hydroelectric generating change trend analysis, grid zone load forecasting, grid operation disaster preventing and reducing and a good application prospect is obtained.
