Groundwater resources are vital for regional water supply under climate change conditions. However, improper use of the available groundwater resources leads to serious environmental disasters such as land subsidence or seawater intrusion. Therefore, groundwater management is a key issue for groundwater resource conservation. Before applying any management practice, it is essential to accurately assess the groundwater system in multi-scales. In this session, we focus on the issues associated with applying near-surface investigation and modeling on groundwater resource assessment. We welcome studies related to numerical modeling, spatiotemporal modeling, data fusion, and field investigation using hydrogeological, geophysical, geochemical, and remote sensing approaches. We also welcome the studies associated with groundwater contamination transport and remediation, geothermal energy exchange, groundwater microorganisms, hot springs, volcanic hydrology, and environmental disaster evaluation and prevention. We especially encourage the pilot groundwater management studies that solve multi-scale and interdisciplinary problems.
