| Abstract | The greatest environmental risk that unsanitary land filling of solid waste creates is the contamination of ground water and soil. Hence, to decide whether the leachate is to be collected and treated, or may be allowed to discharge into the adjoining soil or surface water body, it is essential to have an estimate on the composition and strength of the leachate and variation of leachate contaminants with distance from landfill. Most of the landfills in developing countries do not have any liner at the base, or a drainage layer or a proper top cover, which results in the potential problem of ground water/surface water contamination due to the leachate (Dinesh and Babu, 2003; Raman and Sathiya, 2008). |
