    Tidal gates are quite favorable for agricultural irrigation, urban water supply, fresh water culture and inland navigation in the coastal plain, but also result in some negative impacts on sediment scouring and silting, flood control and water draining, water body quality, aquatic biology and marine navigation. Based on the example of the tidal gate on Yaojiang River, this paper has proposed some feasible measures of disaster reduction: (1) Scour sediment by means of hydraulics, (2) Enhance silt-removing by means of machines, (3) Select proper dam type, (4) Remove riverbed sludge, (5) Improve environmental consciousness, and (6) Be cautious on gate construction.
