Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to global climate change, humid regions worldwide are becoming semi-humid and evergreen grasslands are turning yellow during summer. The direct reason is a reduction in precipitation and an increase in evaporation, which reduces groundwater levels and depletes open reservoirs that supply potable water to households and agriculture. This ongoing situation calls for a paradigm change that involves the development of a holistic approach to water recourse management and, in particular, groundwater resource development. In this Special Issue, we seek papers that address subjects such as groundwater management, flood into recharge strategies, the evaluation and development of urban recharge zones, the development of artificial aquifers, and other subjects that relate to groundwater development strategies.
