To study the changes of water and vegetation coverage, groundwater level and plant diversity of lakes at the end of Tarim River in Northwest China, the changes of various indicators in more than 20 years (2000–2019) were analyzed through field investigation and indoor remote sensing methods. The results showed that (1): with the initiation of the development of ecological water conveyance project, water and vegetation areas increased significantly, especially the trend of vegetation areas becoming more significant, and area of sandy land decreased significantly. (2): the plant diversity increased in the early stage of ecological water conveyance, however, with the increase of lake area and groundwater level, the species composition tends to be simplified. According to the variation characteristics of species importance value in the overflow area in recent 20 years, it is found that the top communities of plant succession are Phragmites australis and Hexinia polydichotoma. (3): with the increase in the lake area, the groundwater level showed an up-lifted trend, the correlation between the two was significant, but there was a lag in the response of the groundwater level. (4): The intra-annual variations in the lake areas were considerable before and after the ecological water conveyance.
