Abstract

Background and Objectives: It is an expectation that Landfill continues to be the major disposal route for municipal solid waste in future also. It is evident from so many researchers that sanitary land filling is the one of the available cheap and best alternate for handling Municipal solid waste till this day.

• Study on generation of leachate in landfills 
• Determination of composition, characteristics of leachate in landfills. 
• Determination of concentration and degree of landfill stabilization of leachate. 

Methods: Leachate is produced during the landfill process. Leachate holding tank in landfill includes drainage, collection, removal with continuous monitoring. It includes treatment methods like: Biological, Physical and Chemical treatment processes.

Results: Leachate generation, composition, characteristics, quantity with factors are discussed. Concentration and degree of landfill stabilization are measured. Variations with age in the typical concentrations of common factors for landfill leachate are measured. Typical constituents and characteristics are measured for leachate produced during landfill. Conclusions: Landfill technology is one of the popular methods for municipal solid waste and gaining popularity day by day. It has been implemented in so many countries. Modern landfills sites are well-engineered, operated and monitored. Through the landfills leachate is produced. In order to reduce environmental effects with the produced leachate-composition, quantity, concentration have to be minimize and new techniques are required to reduce green house gas emissions from landfills. Municipal solid waste increasing day by day not only population growth but also due to industrialization also.

Abstract

Surface energy estimation has a significant and key role in urban environment, climate as well as in the surroundings. This research study goal was to analyse the Landsat series data in biophysical parameters for estimating land surface temperature and heat fluxes over the year 2003 and 2016 and realizing its effect on heat disturbance over the Hyderabad region. Result shows that during the year 2003 to 2016 there is rapid increase urban area which in turn has a direct impact on the land surface temperature and heat fluxes and which leads to a significant rise of 1.40°C has been observed. Classification of the LU/LC using remote sensing data is an accurate way of monitoring the special growth and distribution of the urban area. The analysis of the Normalised Difference Vegetation Cover (NDVI) is done and the increase of 17.53% of the urban area has been observed which major land covers change. Thus from the study it is observed the energy flux in the urban area has increased from 2003 to 2016 because of lack of vegetation cover it overall energy flux value increased to 46.80W/m².
