Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable groundwater use and development becomes critical in dealing with extremely climate events and pursuing United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Groundwater resources serve as a vital source for regional water supply under the climate change condition. However, improper use of the available groundwater resources leads to serious environmental disasters such as land subsidence or seawater intrusion. A groundwater management to secure ecologically and environmental sound groundwater resources for next generations requires technologies and strategies in many aspects including hydrogeology, monitoring, pollution prevention, remediation, risk assessment, governance, and political inputs.

In this Special Issue of “Sustainable groundwater management—the role of hydrogeology, remediation, risk assessment, and climate change”, we invite articles that focus on the following topics:

(1) groundwater and hydrogeology;

(2) groundwater resource assessment and management;

(3) groundwater pollution, remediation, and risk assessment;

(3) cutting-edge technologies for hydrogeological survey

(4) groundwater resource for climage change adaption and Sustainable Development Goals.

We also encourage articles that use transdisciplinary approaches to tackle groundwater sustainability challenges.
