Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Groundwater flow and solute transport are the most basic and continuously studied topics in groundwater research. Groundwater depletion and deterioration of groundwater quality are increasing worldwide, further emphasizing the need for groundwater conservation. Nuclides and toxic chemicals can cause significant environmental problems even at very low concentrations. Due to these problems, a detailed analysis of the exact range of groundwater contamination and the path and speed of the contaminant movement is required at the actual site. Nevertheless, the characterization of aquifers composed of porous and fractured media is difficult, and solutes also exhibit complex nature due to the reactive transport phenomenon. This Special Issue addresses various aspects of groundwater flow and solute transport, which are complex and difficult due to the various factors mentioned above. We welcome not only theoretical research but also analysis based on various measurement data acquired in the field.

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.
