Abstract
Based on the analysis of the water levels of hot water wells and seismic activities in Xi'an and its neighboring area,the authors concluded that the geothermal water exploitation in Xi'an is closely related to the seismic activities in Xi'an and its neighboring area.The seismic activities have been intensified by geothermal water exploitation so that earthquake epicenters migrate from the urban area of Xi'an to its adjacent areas.
