Analysis of Bhanpur Landfill Leachates : Investigation and Recommendation

Landfill leachates are not geographically specific; rarely acknowledge the impact of site specific parameters such as age, water balance, type of waste, landfill operation, etc.; and cover such large ranges that they are often of little use. Analysis of data from lined landfills in Bhopal was needed to provide useful information for the design and management of landfill leachates. Analyses were designed to identify trends in the data and to determine the effects of climate, region or ocation, age of the fill, and waste characteristics on leachate quality.
