Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The investigation of the heterogeneity of subsurface hydrogeological properties is essential for many underground engineering applications, such as the groundwater resource management, groundwater remediation, and geothermal applications. Over the last decades, new techniques for both numerical modelling and field investigation of hydrogeological parameters have evolved due to the development of computer power and modern sensing technology.
This Special Issue aims to present advanced techniques applied to aquifer characterization. Numerical modelling, laboratory experiments, and field investigations are main components of this Special Issue. Research on these subjects helps to improve the understanding of aquifer characteristics and thus the accuracy of simulation and prediction of groundwater flow and transport. You are encouraged to submit papers related to aquifer characterization, inverse problems of subsurface hydrology, hydraulic, thermal and solute tracer tomography, hydrogeophysics, numerical model development, field investigations and applications, aquifer heterogeneity on different scales and multidisciplinary studies. We are also interested in studies that incorporate supercomputer platforms, computer clusters, or other hardware, which can be useful tools for calibrating big data obtained from field investigations or highly resolved laboratory experiments.

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.
