Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coal mining usually produces a large amount of mine water and causes a series of ecological environmental problems. The whole life of coal mines is challenged by groundwater pollution, pollution remediation, mine water resource utilization and ecological environment protection. Although many scholars have been rapidly advancing the field by adopting new ideas and concepts, and the technology, processes and materials of mine water pollution treatment have been greatly developed, there are still some problems. These include the development of new methods and models for the identification and long-term monitoring of pollutants in the coal mine area, groundwater quality evolution dynamics, high-efficiency and low-cost mine water treatment, groundwater pollution remediation, unconventional mine water resources utilization, geological storage of mine water, etc.
Therefore, we are pleased to organize a new Special Issue of Water titled “Mine Water Environment and Remediation”.
This Special Issue aims to publish multidisciplinary scholarly works focusing on obtaining an in-depth understanding of the scientific principles and mechanisms, including critical technology, challenges and ideas, for mine water quality evolution, migration and transformation of typical pollutants, treatment and utilization of mine water, groundwater in situ remediation, pollution remediation and mine water reinjection and geological storage.

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.
