Abstract

The 1998 flood attacked Central and Northeast China and caused the most serious flood damage, which is estimated as the biggest one since the foundation of China in 1949. To enhance the flood control of major rivers and lakes, structural measures, such as constructing and consolidating river levees, are emphasized as the measures taken in previous flood damage years. Through brief description and analysis to current flood control measures in the Yangtze River Basin, some problems concerned are presented. Since the United States and Japan have successful experiences on flood control, their measures concerning comprehensive flood control including structural and non-structural measures are introduced. Consequently, the feasibility to implement such measures in the Yangtze River Basin is discussed and some significant measures, which can be taken at present, are proposed.
