The invention relates to an SWMM modeling-oriented and multi-element-considered method for automatically dividing sub-basins of city regions. The method comprises the following steps of: S1, carrying out sub-basin automatic modeling on a to-be-divided region by using DEM data, basic geographic data, land utilization/coverage data and rainwater pipe network data of the to-be-divided region; S2, following the terrains to obtain a river network water outlet sub-basin; S3, obtaining a river network water outlet sub-basin division unit; S4, carrying out division to obtain rainwater well sub-basins; S5, combining the rainwater well sub-basins obtained by the river network water outlet sub-basin division unit and then carrying out topological check and local correction to obtain final geometrical morphologies of sub-basins of the to-be-divided region; and S6, setting attribute information of the sub-basins of the to-be-divided region and carrying out SWMM modeling-oriented automatic calculation on the attribute information of the sub-basins. According to the method provided by the invention, the influences caused by multiple elements such as terrains, river systems, roads, artificial building facilities and rainwater pipe networks to the city surface rainwater conflux are considered, so that the automatic division of sub-basins in the city regions is realized.
