Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mining is a typical large-scale human engineering activity, which will cause strong disturbance to the geological environment and damage to the groundwater environment. On the one hand, it causes excessive water inflow in mines, and even causes water inrush accidents. On the other hand, it causes a series of serious ecological and geological environ-mental problems, such as the decline of underground water level, the deterioration of water quality, the reduction or even drying of water in rivers, springs and lakes, the ecological variation of the watershed and the deterioration of the surface ecological environment. How to deal with the harmonious relationship between mining and groundwater is the key issue to reduce the damage of groundwater environment and system in mine area. This topic will elaborate and discuss the latest progress in research on the following issues: characteristics of groundwater circulation in coal mine and non-coal mine area; water inrush and water damage evaluation of mining; influence law of mining on phreatic aq-uifer; influence evaluation of mining on groundwater quality; mining technology under water-containing.

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.
