Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water resources are crucial for the survival of all living beings on earth and play an essential role in any country's economic development. At present, natural, climatic and several anthropogenic activities (i.e., mining, rapid urbanization, industrial and domestic waste disposal, agriculture practice, sewage and effluent discharge, overexploitation of groundwater, etc.) are responsible for water depletion and contamination across the globe. Therefore, awareness, regular water monitoring, geochemical assessment, contamination identification and appropriate treatment, vulnerability mapping, artificial recharging, coastal aquifer protection, and new technologies are required for water resources management in the present scenario. Thus, the current Special Issue is going to cover different important areas of the water crisis and management, such as:
- Renewable energies to manage water scarcity;
- Appropriate and cost-effective treatment methods;
- Planning of public infrastructure to water issues;
- Hydrogeochemistry and source of contamination identification;
- Climate change, water shortage and economy;
- Aquifer vulnerability and contaminant transport modelling;
- Role of remote sensing and GIS.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
