Aims & Scope

Journal of Groundwater Science and Engineeringwas founded in 2013 to foster understanding of groundwater sciences and engineering, sponsored by the Institute of Hydrogeology and Environmental Geology, CAGS, China Chapter, International Association of Hydrogeologists and Commission on Hydrogeology, Geological Society of China. Articles submitted would be peer-reviewed strictly on speciality and language. Language revisions are carried out by professional English editors. The Editorial Board is composed of more than sixty world-renowned experts and scholars. Up to now, authors contributed papers are from China, USA, Netherlands, France, Japan, Canada, Australia, Russia, Mongolia, Thailand, India, Indonesia, Morocco, Iran, Pakistan, Vietnametc. Scientists and researchers are welcomed to submit original manuscripts with high theoretical value, new research methods and global application through online submission:https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/jgse. J. groundw. sci. eng.is short for Journal of Groundwater Science and Engineering. Journal of Groundwater Science and Engineering aims to be an innovative, high-impact and authoritative academic journal for scientists, researchers, engineers, and practitioners aross hydrogeology, environmental geology, engineering geology, geothermics, ecology and environment. The journal publishes original research papers, comprehensive reviews and reports with a large amount of latest sample data. It mainly reports research fronts, hotspots and emerging topics, as well as the traditional topics referring to new methodology, technology, applications and theoretical research. Papers published involve various aspects of research concerning groundwater, such as: hydrology, environment, ecology, atmospheric sciences, soil science, geochemistry, geophysics, geomorphology, geobiology, tectonics, urban geology, civil and environmental engineering, hydro-engineering, geological disaster, water technology, geothermy, numerical modeling, innovative
