The discussions in the journal mainly cover the fields of Groundwater, Aquifer, Hydrology, Water quality and Groundwater recharge. Some problems in Groundwater that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Structural basin, Surface water, Irrigation, Water resource management and Water resources. While it focused on Irrigation, it was also able to explore topics like Agriculture and Salinity.
It facilitates discussions on Water resource management that incorporate concepts from other fields like Land use and Water supply. While Aquifer is the focus of Groundwater for Sustainable Development, it also provided insights into the studies of Hydrogeology, Hydraulic conductivity, Water table and Soil science. The journal primarily discusses Hydrology topics, particularly Drainage basin and Piper diagram.
While work presented in Groundwater for Sustainable Development provided substantial information on Water quality, it also covered topics in Total dissolved solids, Environmental engineering, Contamination, Pollution and Nitrate. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Groundwater recharge, apply to Rainwater harvesting as well.
The most cited publications focus largely on the fields of Groundwater, Hydrology, Aquifer, Water quality and Adsorption. Groundwater research is the primary subject tackled in the most cited publications with a focus in Groundwater recharge. The most cited papers focus on Adsorption but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Aqueous solution and Nuclear chemistry.
The aim of the journal is to expand the discussion of research in Groundwater, Aquifer, Hydrology, Water quality and Water resource management. The study on Groundwater featured in Groundwater for Sustainable Development expounds on the topic of Groundwater recharge in particular. Topics in Aquifer were tackled in line with various other fields like Hydrogeology and Soil science.
In Groundwater for Sustainable Development, Land cover, Land use and Salinity, Soil salinity are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Hydrology research. Groundwater for Sustainable Development explores topics in Water quality which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Total dissolved solids, Environmental engineering, Pollution, Weathering and Environmental chemistry. The concepts on Water resource management presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Urbanization and Water supply.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Groundwater for Sustainable Development (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Groundwater for Sustainable Development (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.05% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.14% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.69% of all publications and 60.12% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For those interested in pursuing a career in Earth Science, online associate degrees offer a flexible and accessible starting point. These programs provide foundational knowledge and skills, ideal for students balancing work and study or seeking affordable education options. Exploring online associate degrees can help you identify the best fit for your learning style and career goals.
Affordability is also a key concern for many students. Fortunately, there are many most affordable online colleges for working adults, which offer quality Earth Science programs without breaking the bank. These colleges often have flexible schedules and support services designed for adult learners.
If academic performance has been a challenge, don't be discouraged. Several online graduate programs that accept 2.0 GPA provide opportunities to advance your education in Earth Science and related fields, focusing on your potential rather than past grades.
Specializations such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are highly relevant within Earth Science careers. Pursuing a gis degree can open doors to roles in environmental analysis, urban planning, and resource management, where mapping and spatial data are crucial.
