[Objective] The objective of this paper was to discuss the evaluation method of rural river ecological restoration technology

and to provide theoretical basis for the ecological restoration of rural river.[Methods] Considering economic benefits

social and ecological environmental benefits

the impact of river basic functions

pollution and natural conditions

this paper established an index system of comprehensive assessment on the ecological restoration of rural river by fuzzy analytic hierarchy process(FAHP).[Results] The comprehensive assessment values of four kinds of ecological restoration technologies of Zipeng Town reach of Paihe River in Hefei City were as follows:the evaluation values of phytoremediation

river aeration

constructed wetlands and ecological floating bed were 85.058

70.255

73.456 and 68.018 respectively. Phytoremediation was determined to be adopted for the ecological restoration.[Conclusion] The application of ecological restoration technology assessment system established by the FAHP was comprehensive and objective. If combined with the decided selection criteria

it can provide references for the selection of appropriate ecological restoration technology of rural river.
