In order to implement the "sixteen character" water control policy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and properly handle the issues of resource utilization and environmental protection during development, the PSR model was used to construct an index evaluation system. Combined with the entropy weight method, variable set method and partial connection coefficient method, the index evaluation system was used to analyze the industrial green development indicators, development level and distribution laws of the provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2008 to 2017, and construct an industrial green development evaluation system in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The results show that the overall green development level of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is improving, and there are differences in the development levels within different river basins. The green development level of the upper, middle and lower reaches is improving in turn.
