Groundwater Flow Modeling in Coastal Aquifers

Dear Colleagues,

The issues of population growth and rising global sea levels will make the management of coastal zone freshwater resources a major challenge over the next century. This Special Issue of Water will focus on groundwater modeling for the evaluation of various water management problems within coastal zones, including but not limited to: saltwater intrusion related to freshwater/brackish water pumping for water supply; the response of the saltwater–freshwater interface to rising sea levels; induced upconing of saline water in coastal zones by pumping; submarine groundwater discharge; assessment of economic changes to water supply when rising sea levels impact coastal aquifers; modeling of coastal zone salinity barriers in order to control saltwater intrusion; modeling of aquifer storage and recovery systems in coastal zones in order to enable the storage of stormwater or treated wastewater to improve the sustainability of water supplies; and modeling of new managed aquifer recharge schemes in coastal zones.

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.
