Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the significant interest in Advances in Aquifer Systems Analysis: Flows, Interactions, Quality Status, and Remediation, we are pleased to announce a second edition of this successful Special Issue.
Climate change and human activities—such as land-use modifications, industrial and agricultural development, and urbanization—affect groundwater systems, increasing water demand and altering water quality. Therefore, the study of aquifers is essential for numerous applications, including groundwater management and remediation, geothermal energy applications, and seismic and geophysical investigations. To better understand subsurface behaviors, experimental and numerical methodologies have been implemented in recent years to estimate hydrogeological parameters. This Special Issue aims to focus on new advances and future developments in aquifer systems analysis. Contributions focusing on numerical modelling, pumping and field-testing, and electrical resistivity tomography are particularly encouraged. Topics may include, but are not limited to, saturated/unsaturated flow, seawater intrusion, and the study of porous and karst aquifers.
This Special Issue of Water aims to provide readers with the multidisciplinary tools necessary to progress knowledge of aquifer systems—we look forward to 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 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.
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.
