Special Issue on Groundwater Resources Management

The drinking water demand is increasing mainly due to population growth. More water is also needed to meet the requirements of the agriculture and industry sectors. Simultaneously, the available drinking water resources are globally declining because of overexploitation and pollution. These opposite developments intensify the effects of irresponsible use of groundwater as the largest freshwater reservoir. This is especially true for aquifers in dry areas that have already without negative influences of climate change very low groundwater recharge at present but often storage non-renewable partly enormous fossil groundwater resources accumulated in former periods of earth history. For a sustainable use of these resources, an adapted and forward-looking groundwater management is of vital importance.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Groundwater Resources Management. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Groundwater utilization
• Groundwater quality monitoring
• Assessment of groundwater
• Groundwater purification
• Groundwater pollution
• Groundwater monitoring networks
• Groundwater simulation models

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly note that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title should be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Groundwater Resources Management” should be selected during your submission.
