The western part of the lake is connected with the tributaries of the Yangtze River, Qingyi River, Shuiyang River, and Guxi River, and the north of the lake is connected with the Qinhuai River through the Tianshengqiao River, which belongs to the Yangtze River basin lake. Among them, Shuiyang River is its main water source, and Guxi River is the main drainage channel. Shijiu Lake and Gucheng Lake are adjacent, both are part of the ancient Danyang Lake. The maximum area is more than 200 square kilometers. It belongs to the heavy carbonate calcium group II type water, and the lake has various functions such as irrigation, flood storage, navigation, and breeding. The lake area is rich in resources, among which "three treasures" such as silver fish, crabs, and wild ducks are the most famous. Shijiu Lake is praised by people as "a bucket of gold at sunrise and a bucket of silver at night". However, due to uncontrolled fishing, by the beginning of the 21st century at the latest, precious species such as silver fish have disappeared. "Shijiu Fishing Song" is one of the New Forty Scenic Spots of Jinling.

Shijiu Lake is located in Lishui District and Gaochun District of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and Dangtu County and Bowang District of Ma'anshan, Anhui Province. It is one of the famous freshwater lakes in China and one of the largest freshwater lakes in the country. The west of the lake connects to the Yangtze River, Qingyi River, Shuiyang River, and Guxi River, and is connected to the Qinhuai River and Tianshengqiao River in Hubei, belonging to the Yangtze River system. Among them, the Shuiyang River and the ancient river are the main ones. The continuous shrinkage of Shijiu Lake is caused by unreasonable human reclamation. The lake area is shallow and flat, with limited water storage capacity, which is further reduced by the reclamation of the lake shore. Due to the connection between rivers and lakes, during the flood season, river water flows backward, bringing in external water, causing poor flood discharge, forming 'flood retention areas' and 'flood channels', leading to frequent floods in the surrounding areas of the lake. Therefore, it is important to protect Shijiu Lake and cherish Nanjing's 'sea'.
