Abstract: Throughout Chinese history, floods occur frequently. And in the process of coping with floods, a system of flood control has evolved to its present pattern, with structural measures as the essential component, and has played an important role in the flood control. After the 1998 floods, the central government has adopted and taken a number of policies and measures in the consolidation and strengthening of the existing system of flood control. The complementary improvement should include compensation for input of flood control, compensation for flood damage, and flood insurance.
