Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the dynamic interactions between surface water and groundwater systems is critical for effective water resource management, especially in climate change, land use shifts, and increasing anthropogenic pressures. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in developing and applying integrated modeling approaches that simulate the complex exchange processes between surface and subsurface hydrological domains. We welcome contributions but are not limited to (1) employing innovative numerical techniques, (2) exploring multi-scale coupling strategies, and (3) incorporating real-world data to improve the accuracy and predictability of water flow models. Studies focusing on river–aquifer interactions, wetland hydrodynamics, lake–groundwater systems, seawater–groundwater interactions, and the influence of anthropogenic or climatic factors on surface–subsurface connectivity are particularly welcome. Through this collection, we seek to foster interdisciplinary insights and practical solutions to guide sustainable water resource management across diverse hydrogeological settings.

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.
