The invention discloses a tunnel fire-fighting system employing slope running water as a water source. By employing the slope running water as the water source, sufficient water storage amount of a water reservoir can be guaranteed, and the cost is reduced; an intercepting and draining ditches are built in a plurality of contour lines of a hillside to collect slope rainwater, so that the water source can be more conveniently collected, and the cost is lower; a torrent trough is built to collect the slope running water of the intercepting and draining ditch, and the water speed is decreased by utilizing the torrent trough, an included angle is formed between the torrent trough and the intercepting and draining ditch; an energy dissipation dam is arranged between the torrent trough and a water filtering pool, the water speed is further decreased, and the water filtering pool is protected; through the adoption of a low-level water pool, a pump room and a high-level water pool, water pressure can be automatically provided for a tunnel fire hydrant.
