Abstract: Up to May 2000, before water delivering, the cutting off runoff of lower Tarim River had been continued for 30 years, all the surface water had disappeared for a long time. It forces the environment which is originally controlled by dry circulation to develop rapidly toward dry environment. The desertification had expanded greatly. As the results, a large number of the saline meadow and halophilous shrub deserta had disappeared. The dead plants were vast sheet, even left a lot of bare lands.;The implementation of ecological water delivering began on 14, May 2000. This project has greatly improved the eco-environment. The underground water table in the areas along river course has raised in common. It becomes possible that the secondary forest of Populus euphratica will get development. But according to the inreversibility of extinct species, it is impossible that the natural environment will be recovered to the best state in the history by water delivering alone in this area. It is necessary to build the artificial vegetation. For this purpose, some measures have been put forward in this paper.

Key words: vegetation, change and prospect, ecological water delivering, the end of the lower reaches of Tarim River
