Journal of Groundwater Science and Engineering was 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, Vietnam etc. 

Scientists and researchers are welcomed to submit original manuscripts with high theoretical value, new research methods and global application through online submission: http://gwse.iheg.org.cn.

J. Groundw. Sci. Eng. is short for Journal of Groundwater Science and Engineering.

Aims & Scope

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, water technology, geothermy, numerical modeling, innovative instrumentation, remote sensing, data and information sciences, and other relevant fields.

These areas are invited: water-resource and related mineral-resource evaluations, water quality and public health, water contamination and protection, water treatment and remediation, water vulnerability and risk assessment, groundwater development and utilization, water resources-environment-sustainability, water based management and policy issues, multi- and inter-disciplinary analyses of water problems related to climate, social, economic, or behavioural sciences.

Cooperation

Since 2023, we establish cooperative relationship with Tsinghua University Press (TUP) , and all materials published will get on SciOpen at the same time, https://www.sciopen.com/journal/2305-7068. By virtue of Tsinghua University Press's rich experience in running international journals, SciOpen is an international digital publishing open access platform that provides free full-text browsing, downloading, and sharing, it explores the broadest and deepest multidisciplinary collection of online resources covering Natural Science, Engineering and Technical Science, Medical Science, and Humanities and Social Science. It is committed to playing an active role in serving global scientific and technological innovation.
