Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to introduce this Special Issue which focuses on groundwater quality assessment and flow and pollution transport monitoring. New methodologies and novel approaches are welcomed to propose, along with real-world case studies to demonstrate advanced and efficient viewpoints in assessing groundwater quality, more so relate it to its origin. As groundwater quality is directly related to the hydrodynamic evolution of aquifer systems, flow and pollution transport monitoring techniques are of particular interest to the Special Issue, demonstrating, substantiating and assessing quality characteristics of groundwater and their evolution. Thematic fields may include but are not limited to: AI, geostatistics, protocols development, assessment methodologies, decision support systems, indicators, policy augmenting tools, thresholds’ definition, alert setting, priority substances, emerging pollutants, salinization. The Guest Editors will consider papers on conjunctive use of methodological tools, that ideally demonstrate new insights and breakthrough approaches in monitoring for quality assessment. Theoretical and laboratory work are equally accepted, along with successful field applications and showcased support to policy making and application, towards shaping reliable groundwater quality status assessments upon which safe and sound management plans are compiled. Successful papers should be novel, appealing and scientifically sound, aiming to inspire the global scientific society which would ideally adopt proposed methods and tools.

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.
