Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
All over the world, groundwater is an important resource for humans as well as the ecosystem. Approximately one-third of water resources depends on groundwater, especially where rivers, lakes, or reservoirs are unavailable. Many surface water systems rely on groundwater recharge to maintain water quality, including temperature for aquatic life and plants. Artificial exploration might easily exceed the natural replenishment of groundwater and cause a continuous decrease in the groundwater table or even induce land subsidence. Appropriate management is a necessity for all groundwater systems. Good governance depends on data in terms of time and space, as well as a complete understanding of biophysical effects on groundwater–surface water interactions for decision making and the enforcement of artificial pumping. Artificial recharge or the collaborative use of surface water systems can reduce overexploration to a certain extent. Successful examples of groundwater management and groundwater–surface water interactions, as well as effective data assimilation techniques, will be introduced in this Special Issue. Related knowledge, such as hydrogeological settings and simulations/forecasting, are also welcome.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
