Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water scarcity is a global problem. For arid or semi-arid regions, groundwater is the main or even the only source of water. The unreasonable utilization of groundwater may cause environmental problems such as land subsidence, environmental pollution, ecological degradation, and seawater intrusion, among others. Determining how to scientifically manage groundwater resources is key to address the problem. Although there have been many similar studies, research on the assessment, protection and sustainable utilization of groundwater resources still needs to be improved. On one hand, the amount of groundwater resources needs to be accurately assessed and reasonably allocated to prevent a series of environmental and geological environmental problems caused by excessive exploitation. On the other hand, groundwater quality should also be properly protected. Groundwater pollution should be prevented, and polluted groundwater should be assessed and treated in a timely manner.
In this Special Issue, we aim to publish papers addressing the above issues. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Groundwater overexploitation treatment or artificial recharge;
- Surface–groundwater hydraulic linkage;
- Groundwater circulation and renewal;
- Groundwater dynamics or solute transport models;
- Groundwater resources allocation and management model;
- Seawater intrusion into aquifers;
- Groundwater pollution assessment and health risk assessment;
- Hydrogeochemical characteristics and genesis analysis of groundwater;
- Groundwater pollution control and remediation;
- Groundwater ecology and environmental resource carrying capacity.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
