Special Issue on Groundwater and Sustainable Development

Groundwater is stored in tiny gaps between rocks, sand, soil and soil gravel. It accounts for nearly 95% of the country’s freshwater resources. Therefore, the sustainable development of groundwater is a hot issue of research. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Groundwater and Sustainable Development.

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

• Groundwater contamination and protection
• Groundwater treatment and remediation
• Groundwater quality and food safety
• Groundwater vulnerability and risk assessment
• Impact of climate change on groundwater
• Social aspects of groundwater
• Epidemiology and public health impacts of groundwater contamination
• Sustainable groundwater resources management
• Hydrogeological systems

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.
