Abstract
This special issue on “Groundwater Sustainability Assessment and the Research-Practice Nexus” presents 18 papers aimed at addressing the widening gap between scientific research and practical groundwater management. Despite recent advancements in data and modeling technologies, many studies lack lasting academic and practical impact, raising concerns about their value. To counter this, the issue brings together research that emphasizes practical application in four key areas: groundwater management and policy, dynamics and modeling, quality and pollution, and sustainability assessment, aiming to ensure that hydrological research leads to tangible, long-term benefits.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hydrology publishes original research papers and comprehensive reviews in all the subfields of the hydrological sciences including water based management and policy issues that impact on economics and society. These comprise, but are not limited to the physical, chemical, biogeochemical, stochastic and systems aspects of surface and groundwater hydrology, hydrometeorology and hydrogeology. Relevant topics incorporating the insights and methodologies of disciplines such as climatology, water resource systems, hydraulics, agrohydrology, geomorphology, soil science, instrumentation and remote sensing, civil and environmental engineering are included. Social science perspectives on hydrological problems such as resource and ecological economics, environmental sociology, psychology and behavioural science, management and policy analysis are also invited. Multi-and interdisciplinary analyses of hydrological problems are within scope. The science published in the Journal of Hydrology is relevant to catchment scales rather than exclusively to a local scale or site.
