Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Underground mining is often accompanied by the discharge of a large amount of mine water. Mine water is an important resource as well as a disastrous fluid. Mine water and water co-produced with unconventional natural gas also cause environmental pollution. Measures must be taken to ensure mine safety production, prevent environmental pollution and protect water resources. This Special Issue will present research on geological hazards and geological environment issues related to mine water. It is expected to deliver practical, forward-looking, and enlightening perspectives, methods, and techniques and benefit academic scientists, applied researchers, industry engineers, and policy- and decisionmakers. Sample topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: mine water hazard, geological hazard related to mine water, mine water utilization, coal mine underground reservoir, water co-produced with coalbed methane/unconventional natural gas, hydrogeochemistry of mine water, environmental effect of mine water, and mine water irrigation.
This journal, Water, has a good academic reputation, with an updated CiteScore of 5.5, ranking 59/248 (Q1) in “Water Science and Technology” and 40/228 in “Aquatic Science”. All manuscripts submitted for this Special Issue will undergo strict but fast peer review. The accepted papers will be published in the journal as normal papers and will be indexed by SCI soon.
