The Amur River is the international river which forms the border between China and Russia. The floods often occur in the mid Amur River basin. In this study, statistical analyses of the floods were conducted, using the precipitation data and the discharge data obtained at the Khabarovsk Observatory Station. The landform map and the wetland map were made to grasp which landform had the capacity of the flood control basin. The probability precipitation of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 years were calculated. The relationship between the precipitation and the discharge was in accord with the logistic curve. When the precipitation is over 96.5 mm/month, the flood theoretically occurs. In consequence, the floodplain had much flood control function.
