Description
The management of landfill sites is becoming an ever-challenging task. The impact of leachate from landfills on groundwater quality is a major concern from public health, environmental and regulatory perspectives. Additional concerns arise due to gas migration which can result in odours, the escape of combustible gases, and landfill stability and settlement issues. To avoid such issues, the designer and landfill manager must thoroughly understand the protection, movement, monitoring and control mechanisms of leachate and gas.
This course focuses on optimizing the performance of landfills from design to post-closure phases and deals comprehensively with topics of great concern to landfill designers and managers.
