Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Karst hydrogeology is one of the most challenging topics for related researchers, water managers. The presence of voids, conduits and karst features lead to high heterogeneity and anisotropy, implying often a multidisciplinary approach for this kind of studies since both surface and subsurface hydraulic dynamics are present.
These characteristics make karst aquifers complex to study and difficult to manage because of its intrinsic high vulnerability to pollutants.
Nonetheless, karst aquifers constitute the major percentage of exploitable drinking water resource for many countries all over the world.
Following the successful completion of the first volume of the Special Issue “Recent Advances in Karstic Hydrogeology”, the second version of this Special Issue aims to collect the most recent and advanced research studies on this topic to overcome issues related to karst water resources such as vulnerability assessments, climate change and the resilience of karst water exploitation systems, karst coastal aquifer management and modelling.
Papers focusing on hydrochemical models are welcomed, as well as conceptual models and recent machine-learning and A.I. models on subsurface flow.

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.
