Improving Honghu Lake environment with the implementation of the River Chief System

The River Chief System plays an important role in protecting water environment. Honghu Lake is the largest lake in Hubei Province, however, as time passes, many problems arise: water pollution is getting worse; the area of Honghu Lake is shrinking; biodiversity is being destroyed. To solve these problems, the River Chief System should be implemented by making relevant laws and regulations; cleaning the water flowing into Honghu Lake; clarifing the duties of the River Chief System at all levels; strengthening water ecological restoration; strengthening supervision and law enforcement; and developing red and green culture coordinately. Only by implementing these strategies can the sustainable development of Honghu Lake be boosted.
