Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Transport Modeling

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding groundwater flow and the transport of constituents including contaminants is critical in addressing water quantity and quality challenges that impact public health and sustainable water resource management. This Special Issue aims to gather innovative research that advances the modeling efforts in this vital area. We welcome submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Development and validation of new groundwater flow and transport models;
• Numerical and analytical methods for groundwater modeling;
• Contaminant transport mechanisms in subsurface environments;
• Application of machine learning and AI in groundwater modeling;
• Impacts of climate and environmental changes on groundwater resources;
• Integration of surface water, land surface, and groundwater models;
• Hydrobiogeochemical interactions affecting contaminant and organic matter mobility;
• Managed aquifer recharge and its implications for groundwater quality;
• Policy and management strategies for groundwater protection;
• Understanding and reducing the uncertainty of complex subsurface systems.

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.
