Based on 489 research papers on the theme of coordinated development of water resources utilization and industrial structure included in the WOS (Web of Science) kernel database from 1995 to 2022, this study uses CiteSpace visualization software to draw graphs of scholars' cooperation network, institutional cooperation network, keyword co-occurrence and clustering network, and keyword timeline, and systematically sort out the basic knowledge and cutting-edge hotspots in the field of international water resources utilization and industrial structure research, with the purpose of revealing the research progress in this field. Research has shown that the field received less academic attention before 2016; since 2016, research in the field has gradually become a research hotspot in the academic community; the cooperation between authors and institutions in this field is close, forming a relatively stable core cooperation team; the research in this field mainly focuses on the construction of indicator system for coordinated development of water resources and industrial structure and the selection of evaluation methods, sustainable development research, water footprint and virtual water research. By sorting out the evolution paths of research hotspots, it can be seen that keywords such as "energy consumption", "carbon emissions", and "ecosystem service" are at the forefront of research in this field.
