Leachate Characterization and Surface Groundwater Pollution at Municipal Solid Waste Landfill of Gohagoda, Sri Lanka
As a developing country, protecting groundwater resources is extremely essential in Sri Lanka. Landfills are one of the main sources of water pollution. The filling of the Gohagoda disposal yard, takes place at a distance about 50m from Gohagoda water intake plant. In addition, there is several boreholes located close proximity of the landfill, which used for drinking and domestic purposes. A s...
متن کاملInfluence of biological pre-treatment of municipal solid waste on landfill behaviour in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean with an area about 65 610 km(2). The population of the country is around 20.2 million. Hazardous disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a major concern particularly in the most urbanized areas of Sri Lanka. However, the current waste management system does not facilitate any waste pre-treatment techniques before final disposal. As a consequence, th...
متن کاملuranium in municipal solid waste landfill leachate
landfill leachates and leachate sediments were investigated in order to survey the discharge of uranium (u) from municipal solid waste (msw) landfills and municipal solid waste incinerator (mswi) bottom ash landfills. concentrations of u in the leachates were as high as or higher than concentrations of cd, a metal more often discussed when considering the environmental effects of landfill leach...
متن کاملAssessment of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Leachate Treatment Efficiency by Leachate Pollution Index
Leachate pollution index (LPI) value can be used as a tool to assess the leachate pollution potential of landfill sites particularly at places where there is a high risk of leachate migration and pollution of groundwater and thus can help to take necessary decisions as deem fit. In this paper, leachate treatment efficiency was evaluated on the basis of LPI value of leachate before and after tre...
