Engineering Groundwater and Groundwater Engineering—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue entitled “Engineering Groundwater and Groundwater Engineering”.

Human engineering activities have a great impact on the geological environment. Groundwater, as the main element of a geological body, plays an important mediating role in this process. Its occurrence and migration law has changed due to the interference of human activities, and its initial boundaries and other conditions have changed greatly, forming a complex seepage system. Because it is invisible and flowable, it is difficult to accurately grasp its migration law, which has produced more uncertainty for engineering construction, formed greater risks, and even caused serious harm; it has become a hot issue in engineering construction and geological environment protection. In recent years, groundwater disasters have occurred frequently in engineering construction, and the corresponding groundwater engineering technology has made great progress. This Special Issue is now open to collect research summarizing the latest research progress in this field and provide a learning and exchange platform for engineering peers.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to study groundwater problems in engineering construction and engineering problems for groundwater disposal. The first topic concerns the scientific problem of the movement law of groundwater in a geological body after the transformation of human engineering activities, as well as diseases or disasters caused by the improper disposal of groundwater. The latter refers to the artificially created engineering measures that need to be adopted when the problem of groundwater has to be tackled in a project, as well as the powerful experiences and lessons derived from occurrences of improper disposal. Both engineering groundwater and groundwater engineering involve engineering practice. Therefore, this Special Issue involves not only theoretical research but also engineering practice. Potential authors include experts from universities, research institutes, engineering construction, design, construction, operation, and maintenance units.

To achieve this goal, the research topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:

1. Impact of human engineering activities on groundwater and feedback mechanism of groundwater on engineering activities;
2. Theory and calculation method of engineering groundwater flow;
3. Multifield coupling theory in engineering groundwater analysis;
4. Groundwater disaster mechanism for engineering;
5. Engineering groundwater test technologies: new theories and methods;
6. Engineering groundwater monitoring technologies and test methods;
7. Advanced geological prediction technology and methods of engineering groundwater;
8. Groundwater control technology (curtain, pum**, and recharge);
9. Groundwater control works (foundation pit, tunnel, dam, slope, and foundation);
10. Artificial intelligence technology and application of groundwater engineering;
11. Case analysis of groundwater engineering and engineering groundwater.
