Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modeling groundwater flows is a major challenge in understanding transport and reactivity. Water recharge and vulnerability can be assessed using mechanistic models and environmental tracers. Scientific outcomes from groundwater modelers can help support groundwater managers and decision makers in evaluating groundwater vulnerability and in implementing measures aiming to protect water resources.

Papers will be selected using a rigorous peer review procedure. We invite the submission of original research papers or reviews in the following and related areas:

  • Groundwater models;
  • Advances in mathematical and numerical aspects of groundwater modeling theory;
  • Groundwater quality including punctual pollution;
  • Groundwater pollution;
  • Geochemical data and predictions;
  • Residence time distribution;
  • Transport and reactivity processes;
  • Biogeochemical interpretation;
  • Sustainability assessment.

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.

The sustainable management of groundwater resources is required to avoid a water crisis. The current study focused on a bibliometric analysis of groundwater access and management to assess research progress. The study was based on data from Dimensions.ai generated using the search terms “Groundwater”, “access”, and “management” for the period from 1985 to 2022. A total of 534 documents were identified as relevant and retrieved in CSV format. The intellectual structure of the retrieved data was visualized and analyzed using VoS viewer software (version 1.6.18). The analysis showed that the field of earth sciences had the highest number of publications on groundwater access and management (358), followed by the environmental sciences (155). Most of the articles (267) were about Sustainable Development Goal 6, which focuses on ensuring access to clean water and sanitation. The co-authorship analysis for the countries indicated that the United States has the most impact and research, and all other countries have established clusters around it. The citation analysis of the organizations showed that the International Water Management Institute, Charles Sturt University, and Wageningen University and Research were the top three organizations in terms of total citations (825, 611, and 584, respectively), indicating the most effect. The citation analysis for the sources indicated that the “Water” journal had a greater impact on readers with respect to groundwater research. Numerous parties are involved in the groundwater investigation; hence, a broad multidisciplinary approach is required. Therefore, researchers should work together rather than alone to address the problem of sustainable groundwater management. Full article

Because fault core zones and damage zones overlap, when a tunnel crosses the intersecting faults the groundwater flow characteristics of the tunnel-surrounding rock will be different compared to that from a single fault. By using the theory of “Three-district zoning of faults”, an improved Darcy–Brinkman numerical model for a tunnel crossing the intersecting faults was established in this work. Based on the relative vertical positions between the tunnel axis and the intersection center of faults, the underground water seepage field was analyzed at steady-state by solving the improved Darcy–Brinkman equation for the host rock zone and the fault zone. The simulation results show that the flow field around the tunnel is almost unaffected by the relative positions but is mainly dependent on the relative heights. Specifically, the relative position variation of the fault intersection to the tunnel axis has little effect on the pore pressure. In terms of flow velocity, regardless of the relative positions of the fault intersection and the tunnel, the maximum value of flow velocity almost occurs near the bottom of the tunnel excavation face and consistently displays high values within a small distance ahead of the excavation face, and then decreases quickly as the distance increases. Furthermore, the flow velocity changes minimally in the host rock. It will likely encounter the maximum water inflow rate when the tunnel excavation face passes through the intersection. The numerical simulation results can provide a practical reference for predicting water inflow into deep-buried tunnels passing through overlapped intersecting faults. Full article
