Dike-pond is a representative style of ecological agriculture in the PRD(Pearl River Delta). Since 1992, Guangdong quicken its pace of reform and opening-up to the outside world. A mass of factories had been built in the PRD. The dike-ponds have come across some influential changes in the recent 30 years. To detect and study on the changes of dike-ponds, the Remote Sensing and Geography Information System skill was applied in this paper. This article selected Sanshui district as an example and used Landsat TM 1979, 1990, 2000 and SPOT 2009 satellite image as the major data sources. With the help of ITTVIS company newly released software-ENVI EX, object-oriented approach has been used to extract the dike-pond land from each image. The result indicates that the area of dike-pond gained rapidly growth from 1979 to 2000, but decrease critically during 2000-2009. When using Change Detection Analysis to compute each period's change statistics, the result shown that the increased dike-pond area were mainly from vegetation covered land and other bare land. Then we found out that the mean centre of Sanshui district's dike-pond was moving from northwest to southeast during 1979-2009. Therefore, it comes to the conclusion that Sanshui district's dike-pond increased across the southeast of Sanshui district from 1979 to 2009. Last but not least, some suggestions have been put forward to keep the dike-pond land area from decreasing.
