Description
Rapid growth of urban areas has affected the groundwater quality due to over exploitation of resources and improper waste disposal. There are many sources that contribute to the contamination of groundwater. Unprotected landfills are one of the major sources of groundwater pollution. Hence, there is always a need for the protection and management of groundwater quality. The primary focus of the present study was to investigate the leachate generation from a solid waste dumping site and its implications on the groundwater pollution.
