Applied Agricultural and Environmental Hydrogeology: From Field Monitoring to Numerical Approaches

Special issue - Pubblicato il 29 Maggio 2025

Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce this new Special Issue of Water, entitled “Applied Agricultural and Environmental Hydrogeology: From Field Monitoring to Numerical Approaches”. The increase in challenging issues like climate change effects, monitoring and modeling advances, and various environmental issues (e.g., water consumption, salinization processes, protected agricultural applications, nutrients, and agrochemicals leaching) related to applied agricultural and environmental hydrogeology needs to be reviewed from a multidisciplinary viewpoint. Therefore, we aim to convey topics from different disciplines (applied geology, environmental engineering, agricultural engineering) related to hydrogeological themes within this Special Issue. The goal is to provide a wide-spectrum perspective on research vectors from monitoring approaches to modeling techniques to enhance the melting pot between disciplines and sharing methods and approaches. Papers focused on experimental methods (e.g., isotopes or continuous monitoring of relevant parameters) and field data (from plot to watershed scale) and various numerical techniques (numerical, geostatistical, GIS, or machine learning-driven), combining applied hydrogeology, agricultural engineering, and environmental engineering backgrounds, are welcome to be submitted.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
