The invention provides a hydraulic design method of a half-spiral water-sucking chamber for a pump. Maim geometrical parameters of the water-sucking chamber are determined through relations. The relations mainly comprise a cut-water angle Alpha, a cut-water included angle Gamma, an upside radius R1 of the water-sucking chamber, a cut-water access radius r1, a base circle radius R2, a downside radius R3 of the water-sucking chamber, a baffle length 1, a baffle included angle Theta, a baffle thickness Delta, an inlet first section radius Ra, an inlet second section radius Rb, an inlet second section length ab, an inlet second section width bb, an inlet third section radius Rc, an inlet third section length ac, an inlet third section width bc, an eight-section inlet radius b3, an eight-section inclined angle Omega, radiuses Ri of all sections, horizontal lengths Li of all the sections and heights hi of all the sections. According to the water-sucking chamber, the flowing condition is improved, a uniform velocity field can be obtained in the position of an inlet of an impeller, and the anti-cavitation performance of the pump is improved greatly at the same time.
