Soil properties of different location of Ganga and Matla are different depending on the flow of river along with its entire path. Soil and water property of both of these courses have been deteriorating due to release of agricultural run off, domestic sewage, indus­ trial effluents. The soil receives serious polluting substances through anthropogenic ac­tivities which include organic wastes, toxic chemicals, heavy metals from industrial efflu­ents etc.

This paper studies different soil properties of rivers Ganga and Matla of West Bengal to verify if the soils can be used as liner materials for the hazardous waste landfill.

Abstract


Soil properties of different location of Ganga and Matla are different depending on the flow of river along with its entire path. Soil and water property of both of these courses have been deteriorating due to release of agricultural run off, domestic sewage, indus­ trial effluents. The soil receives serious polluting substances through anthropogenic ac­tivities which include organic wastes, toxic chemicals, heavy metals from industrial efflu­ents etc.

This paper studies different soil properties of rivers Ganga and Matla of West Bengal to verify if the soils can be used as liner materials for the hazardous waste landfill.
