Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quantifying baseflow is crucial for a sustainable management of coupled ground- and surface water resources and linked ecosystems. It is commonly estimated using tracers (i.e., heat or chemical), automated statistical methods such as recursive filters, physical-based numerical separation models, or a combination of the three. However, it is difficult to validate these methods due to the subjectivity of associated input parameters and the challenge of actually measuring baseflow in the field. Recently, integrated surface–subsurface numerical models have been refined to account for small-scale spatial and temporal patterns of groundwater and surface water exchange across watersheds of various land use and climatic settings. However, the interplay between hydrologic dynamics and geochemical processes is still not fully understood. For example, recent analyses coupling chemical mass balance with recursive digital filters and numerical models have highlighted the importance of accounting for the compositional differences between dilute baseflow from bank storage and more saline baseflow from regional groundwater with longer residence times. This Special Issue welcomes interdisciplinary research that addresses the linkages between hydrology and geochemistry at nested scales and specifically accounts for small-scale spatiotemporal variability of baseflow.

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.
