Abstract: Based on the data collected in the Yellow River Estuary, this paper gives a discuss and an analysis to the mechanism and characters of Runoff Flood and Ice-Flood Disasters (RFIFD) in the estuary. The result shows that, the enormous sediment depositing in the adjacent area of the river mouth, the shape of river channel both in vertical and horizontal section, and the sudden events in the river mouth channel are the main factors charged for frequently happening of the RFIFD. The effective measurements dealing with the disasters are to reduce the amount of sediment discharge to the estuary, to renovate the river channel constantly and to enlarge the sediment emptying ability of the river mouth.
