Summary:	"Groundwater is an essential component of the water cycle and is a critical resource for much of the world's population. On a planet where demand for groundwater and other resources is ever increasing, issues of groundwater quantity and quality are a major focus in many regions of the world. This Special Issue will provide an overview of topics that focus on either groundwater quantity or quality issues that are relevant on regional or national scales. Examples of groundwater quantity issues include long-term groundwater sustainability, interactions between groundwater and ecosystem function, etc. Water quality issues could include effects on water quality from overexploitation of groundwater, contamination from petroleum, and mineral resource development, etc."
