Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Groundwater and soil are vital Earth resources crucial for sustainable ecosystem development. Yet, these resources face imminent threats due to rapid urbanization, expanding land uses, and growing populations. Urgent remediation of groundwater and soil contamination is imperative to curb bioaccumulation. The toxicity of chlorinated organic compounds and heavy metals poses threats to human health, alongside persistent organic pollutants such as PFAS, PFOS, and pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP). Harnessing significant advancements in environmental analysis, remediation engineering, numerical simulation, and machine learning, various advanced strategies for soil and groundwater remediation are currently under development. Concepts like Green and Sustainable Remediation (GSR) and Sustainable Reliance Remediation (SRR) have emerged in recent years and are being applied to contaminated sites. To address these pressing issues, this special issue seeks contributions focusing on: (1) advanced approaches to field investigations and laboratory experiments for physical and/or biochemical remediation, (2) efficient measurements of biogeochemical and hydrogeological cycling, (3) the application of GSR and SRR for socio-economic and environmental mitigation, and (4) management policies on soil and groundwater remediation. We invite studies that establish links between soil and groundwater resource conservation and contaminant remediation, with the overarching goal of achieving a sustainable environment.

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.
