Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to contribute your novel research findings to this Special Issue, titled "Sustainable Groundwater Management: Multidisciplinary Approaches for Securing Water Resources". This issue is dedicated to advancing the sustainable management, protection, and utilization of groundwater resources. We seek to gather cutting-edge research and practical solutions addressing critical topics, including groundwater recharge techniques and quantification methods, aquifers, including karst systems, characterization using different methods, tracing and environmental isotope techniques, the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic activities, groundwater contamination and remediation, groundwater-surface water interactions, sustainable agricultural practices, innovative technologies, and effective policy and governance frameworks. Groundwater sustainability is crucial for ensuring long-term water security and ecosystem health. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers by showcasing innovative studies and best practices that contribute to the sustainable use and management of groundwater.
We look forward to your valuable contributions that will help advance our understanding and implementation of sustainable hydrogeology practices.

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.
