Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to announce this new Special Issue of Water, entitled “Applied Agricultural and Environmental Hydrogeology: From Field Monitoring to Numerical Approaches”. The increase in challenging issues like climate change effects, monitoring and modeling advances, and various environmental issues (e.g., water consumption, salinization processes, protected agricultural applications, nutrients, and agrochemicals leaching) related to applied agricultural and environmental hydrogeology needs to be reviewed from a multidisciplinary viewpoint. Therefore, we aim to convey topics from different disciplines (applied geology, environmental engineering, agricultural engineering) related to hydrogeological themes within this Special Issue. The goal is to provide a wide-spectrum perspective on research vectors from monitoring approaches to modeling techniques to enhance the melting pot between disciplines and sharing methods and approaches. Papers focused on experimental methods (e.g., isotopes or continuous monitoring of relevant parameters) and field data (from plot to watershed scale) and various numerical techniques (numerical, geostatistical, GIS, or machine learning-driven), combining applied hydrogeology, agricultural engineering, and environmental engineering backgrounds, are welcome to be submitted.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
