Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One-quarter of the world population depends on freshwater from karst aquifers. Therefore, a need for a sustainable karst freshwater supply policy constitutes a major challenge in a context of increasing pressure linked to both climate change impacts and a dramatic increase of human withdrawals. Thus, water resources managers currently face both the degradation of water quality, the increase in karst flood intensity, and conflicts between water users, especially during low water periods.
This Special Issue of Water aims to provide the latest scientific advances in the hydrogeology, hydrogeophysics, and hydrobiogeochemistry of karst systems, reflecting also the wild variety of karst lithology. Special efforts on innovative field experiments, data analysis, or new modelling concepts are encouraged. Interdisciplinary research including economics or societal applications are also welcomed.

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.
