Remote sensing and GIS applications in water science

The present volume includes 41 publications regarding the various aspects of geospatial technology applications in water science. The articles are one of the finest researches in the groundwater hydrology aiming the societal needs in a quest to assess, explore, converse, preserve and manage the water resources to achieve the sustainability of water and sanitation access by concentrating on the quality, availability, and management of freshwater resources, to ensure environmental suitability as a part of the United Nations Millennium Development Goal-7. The publication in the special issue are mainly related to the groundwater prospects mapping using GIS, geophysical investigations for groundwater, groundwater modeling and impact of urbanization, vis-a-viz climate change on groundwater, water quality index/s, and spatial mapping of groundwater quality, contaminations and salinity hazards. The volume shall serve as a compendium about the applications of geospatial technology in various aspects of groundwater pollution such as geogenic and anthropogenic sources and their profound impact on human health in order to cope up with the UNSDG 3 (Goodhealth and wellbeing) and UNSDG-6 (Clean water and sanitation).
