Advances in Aquifer Systems Analysis: Flows, Interactions, Quality Status, and Remediation

Dear Colleagues,

The impact of human activities and climate change on groundwater systems is becoming severe. For this reason, the study of aquifer systems is essential for many applications, such as groundwater management, groundwater remediation and geothermal applications. In recent decades, both experimental and numerical techniques have been developed to estimate hydrogeological parameters and to understand groundwater flow and transport processes.

This Special Issue focuses on recent advances and future developments in aquifer system analysis. This involves new advances in the knowledge surrounding the topic of interest. In particular, multidisciplinary approaches are welcome, including chemical isotope and microbiology analyses, numerical modelling, pumping and field test, etc. This includes but is not limited to saturated/unsaturated flow, seawater intrusion, and porous and karst aquifers.

Our aim is for this Special Issue of Water is to provide the readers with multidisciplinary tools that allow for knowledge on aquifer systems to improve.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
