According to an official of the MWR, a total of 1.2 million river and lake chiefs at township and village levels and river inspectors and rangers were appointed across the country after the system of river and lake chiefs was implemented in an all-round way. Many women and entrepreneurs volunteered to become unofficial river and lake chiefs, and young volunteers also actively participated in protecting and managing rivers and lakes. They have become important force in guarding rivers and lakes.
