Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues，
Water covers about 72% of the Earth’s surface, mostly with oceans and sea, and minor portions of water exist on Earth as groundwater, water vapour, and clouds. Geohydrological process can be defined hydrological characteristics of aquifers or rocks and their impacts on groundwater flow, groundwater quantity and groundwater quality. In an arid region, average annual precipitation was estimated to be less than 500 mm and average annual evapotranspiration greater than 800 mm as well as spatiotemporal variability in groundwater quantity and quality. This region covers more than a quarter of Earth's land surface.
Recently, geospatial technology, hydrological models, and machine learning models permitted better understanding and modelling geohydrological process. They have proven to be excellent tools for investigating the impacts of land use/ cover changes on climate change and the consequent impacts of these changes on groundwater quality and quality over a regional scale with low cost and time-consuming.
The main objective of this special issue is to gather the recent works that employed geohydrological process in an arid region. The potential research topics include the following:
- Water resources management
- Geohydrology and remote sensing
- Soil water science
- Groundwater hydrology and information science
- Hydrochemistry and groundwater pollution
- Policy analysis and managements
- Socio-hydrology
- Aquifer characteristics
- Groundwater risk assessment
- Regional groundwater flow
- Impact of LULC on groundwater quality and quantity

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
