Leachate management technology has evolved over
time, varying with the type and complexity of
leachate. The technologies in temperate countries
may not satisfactorily operate under tropical
conditions. It is important to prevent the volume
of leachate generated to reduce the cost of
treatment and to minimize pollution. Leacheate
treatment is expensive and the method of treatment
may be ineffective. This book discussed various
landfill cover options to provide an efficient
technology to minimise the volume of leacheate
generated. The models described are based on VHELP
software...
