Change of land-use pattern causes the change of underlying surface environment in the basin, thus influencing the source and sink of hydrological cycle in the study area and to greatly affect the groundwater level. In order to study the relationship between underlying surface change and groundwater level, this paper quantitatively analyzed the remote sensing images of the Hailiutu River basin acquired in different periods and collected long-series groundwater monitoring data, and this paper drew a groundwater level change map by calculating the transfer matrix of different land-use types. On this basis, this paper analyzed the groundwater level and influential factors for the transfer amount of different land-use types. Results showed that the change in groundwater level was mainly influenced by the underlying surface change. The land-use types exhibited strong tempo-spatial transformation. Where there was a drastic change of land-use type, there was a sharp change in groundwater level, indicating that the change of land-use type greatly influenced the underlying surface and was positively correlated with the spatial distribution of groundwater level.
