Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Groundwater is the largest liquid freshwater reservoir on planet Earth which has been increasingly under stress in terms of both quantity and quality due to over-pumping and the unsustainable exploitation of aquifers to meet rapidly growing population and agriculture activities. These drivers associated with climate change pressures threaten the sustainable management of groundwater resources. For susceptibility analysis of the groundwater to different stressors (e.g., overexploitation and contamination), different process-based models, overlay and index models, and statistical models are developed and tested all over the world.
The increased growth of human-induced hydrogeological hazards (e.g., land subsidence, seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers, deterioration of groundwater quality, and groundwater level declination) reveals the role of analysis of groundwater susceptibility to such hazards.
This Special Issue aims to collect original contributions related to the application of various methods and models for a susceptibility analysis of hydrogeological hazards, which will be greatly helpful for planners and decision-makers to specify areas with the greatest risk.

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.
