It is a significant method to monitor and study on the dynamic characteristics of groundwater for earthquake monitoring and prediction． For the research of groundwater dynamics， groundwater dating can provide quantitative basis on the characteristics of groundwater recharge and runoff as well as the renewal capacity． This article illustrates the methods used globally and summarizes the main advances and achievements in groundwater dating． It also focuses on the relationships between groundwater renewal capacity and seismic monitoring， groundwater movement and seismic activity， shallow groundwater recharge and abnormal interference elimination． The studies show that groundwater dating plays an important role in water-rock interaction，geological tectonic and seismic activity evaluation． Therefore，groundwater dating can be widely used to monitor and analyze the seismic information within underground fluid in the near future．
