A water quality detection system including a light source, a spectrometer, and a data processor is disclosed, and relates to the technical field of detection systems. The light source emits excitation light pulse trains of different wavelengths to a to-be-detected water sample contained in a sample cell, where the excitation light pulse trains of different wavelengths may be emitted in a time-division manner, to excite the to-be-detected water sample, thereby generating fluorescence separately corresponding to the excitation light pulse trains of different wavelengths. The spectrometer receives the fluorescence and output a fluorescence spectrum based on the fluorescence. The data processor obtains, based on the fluorescence spectrum output by the spectrometer, a three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum including an excitation wavelength, a fluorescence wavelength, and a fluorescence intensity, identifies the to-be-detected water sample and obtains a parameter of the to-be-detected water sample based on the three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum.
