It bears the important function of regulating and storing the water of Yangtze River and the four rivers of Hunan Province, which are Xiang River, Zi River, Ruan River, and Li River. Therefore, it plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining the safety of people along those rivers and ensuring the ecological security in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River. Dongting Lake has received intensive attention in recent years. It is listed as the key target in "Green Sword Operation", "Green Shield Operation", and other environmental protection projects at national or provincial level.
