Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing pressures of water scarcity, urbanization, and climate variability demand integrated and adaptive water management solutions that consider the close interdependence of surface water and groundwater systems, which are essential to achieving effective and resilient water management.
This Special Issue will collate studies (original research articles and review papers) that provide insights into surface–groundwater interaction, integrated water management strategies, groundwater recharge estimation, and the effects of anthropogenic pressures, such as land use changes and exploitation. Contributions may focus on field investigations, field and/or remote sensing data-based numerical modeling approaches, and interdisciplinary management frameworks applied at local, regional, or basin-wide scales.
We invite submissions based on both academic research and practical experience in development cooperation initiatives. Studies that integrate scientific knowledge with real-world problem solving are particularly encouraged.
All papers will be published in an open-access format following peer review.
Manuscripts that link the following themes are welcome:
- Integrated water resource management;
- Groundwater–surface water interaction;
- Groundwater recharge and discharge to streams;
- Hydrological modelling;
- Impacts of land use and climate change;
- Water balance;
- Hydrogeochemistry;
- Sustainable water use.
We look forward to receiving your original research articles and reviews.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
