Assessment of Terrain and Land Use/Land Cover Changes of Mine Sites using Geospatial Techniques in Plateau State, Nigeria
In this paper, we report a geospatial assessment of the selected mine sites in the Plateau State, Nigeria. The aim of this work is to determine the impact of mining on the terrain as well as the Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) of the host communities.

The main effects are methane release, which is contributing to the greenhouse effect, and contamination of groundwater through leachate. The decomposition of MSW is mediated by the cooperation of several microorganisms and is heavily influenced by substrate composition as well as ph...
متن کاملUse of the landfill water pollution index (LWPI) for groundwater quality assessment near the landfill sites
The purpose of the paper is to assess the groundwater quality near the landfill sites using landfill water pollution index (LWPI). In order to investigate the scale of groundwater contamination, three landfills (E, H and S) in different stages of their operation were taken into analysis. Samples of groundwater in the vicinity of studied landfills were collected four times each year in the perio...
