Measurement system of ecologic restoration at downstream of the Tarim River

The State Council of China launched a five-year emergency water diversion programme in the main stream of the Tarim River Basin in Xinjiang in 2001.The programme aimed at ending no flow history of downstream of the Tarim River from Daxihaizi Reservoir for ages.The ecosystem from Daxihaizi Reservoir section to the Tailtema Lake was degraded over years.In order to get better ecologic restoration of the ecosystem at downstream of the Tarim River,this paper discusses soil and water conservation measures systems with preliminary design,sums up some ideas and methods of ecological restoration in sandy area of arid inland.
