Special Issue on Groundwater and Sustainable Development

Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations. Groundwater is a key component of the hydrologic system. Groundwater is not only a vital water resource for human consumption but there are also intense exchange processes and interconnections with surface waters, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The sustainable use and protection of groundwater resources requires intact ecosystems.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on Groundwater and Sustainable Development. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Groundwater pollution, treatment and remediation
• Groundwater quality monitoring and protection
• Groundwater utilization and purification
• Water technology and hydro-engineering
• Groundwater model and simulation
• Groundwater ecosystem
• Interactions with surface hydrology and environment
• Assessment, development and management
• Groundwater, safety and public health
• Water policy and hydroeconomics

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Groundwater and Sustainable Development” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
