Abstract: Based on the testing results of isotopes for collected samples of surface water and groundwater, the relationships of δD to δ18O and δ18O to H were plotted so as to analyze the relations among the recharge, runoff and discharge of groundwater in the pediment tableland region. The following equations were thus given, i.e., for the regional rainwater relation line δD=7.1781δ18O-8.1151 and for the elevation effect relation line δ18O-0.0049H-8.209. Meanwhile, the Greater Xing'an Mountains are reckoned the recharging areas of groundwater sourcing from meteoric water. Inside the areas the circulation of groundwater is rather slow and the recharging source is mainly the meteoric water accumulated since 1999 and formed within 3.26-10.6 years. The annual average temperature during the formation of groundwater is a little bit lower than that at present.
