Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The population of any region should be provided with data about the nature of groundwater, its conservation and management, and the polluting factors affecting its suitability in human body. With this aim, this Special Issue aims to evaluate the water quality impact on human health risk in terms of physical, chemical and biological indices. Drinking water quality index and health hazard valuation (THQI—by consuming physical, chemical and biological materials) can help to infer the quality of groundwater for drinking and the associated health risks. In the present Special Issue, we aim to publish coastal terrain and hard rock human health risk assesment manuscripts. This Special Issue will attempt to bring out a comprehensive picture on the status of water issues in terms of the geographic and temporal dimensions and analyse the range of technological and management approaches which can be applied both globally and regionally.
Themes:
- Groundwater resource estimation and global statistics;
- Groundwater quality and control;
- Human health impact and assessment;
- Risk assessment on a global scale (fluoride, nitrate, heavy metals, etc.);
- Submarine groundwater discharge;
- Groundwater governance and policies;
- Radon and health impact and remediation;
- Technological and frugal solutions for water quality purifications.
