Considering that the water shortage risk assessment is a fuzzy concept with multiple indicators and classes, and there is the limit for the weight value of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, the fuzzy mathematics method and the principal component analysis (PCA) are combined to evaluate the water shortage risk from 2001 to 2008 in Beijng. The weight problem has been modified by adopting the PCA, which make the weight value more objective. From quantitative assessment, the water shortage risk of Beijing stays high level from 2001 to 2008 and the unique channel for risk reduction is to improve the water saving technologies and increasing the sewage treatment rate. Keywords-water shortage risk assessment; fuzzy mathematics method; principal component analysis; Beijing.
