Effect of an Active Open Dumpsite on the Earth’s Subsurface and Groundwater Resource

An electrical resistivity survey was carried out at a dumpsite and controlled station located about 200m away from the to assess vertical extent of leachate contamination its impact on soil groundwater resources. Subsurface stations were examined, which reflects subsurface tolerance subsurface. The infiltration may reflect state quality groundwater. This implies that leachates must have also migrated into aquifer system, thereby contaminating water-bearing unit.
