<p>This paper describes methodology focused on screening of groundwater pollution risk induced by abandoned mining sites on a regional scale. The presented methodology is based on a concept developed for groundwater pollution risk mapping, with suitable modifications ...

<p>Amongst all hydrological and environmental problems the most typical one is ground water contamination. Waste material is to be placed in engineered landfill as ground water contamination can take place due to landfill leachate. In order to design engineered ...

<p>Landfill leachate is a liquid that is mainly produced by the rain which falls on the solid waste. The leachate usually contains high concentrations of ammonium, organic matter, toxic compounds and heavy metals. This master thesis introduces briefly facts ...

This paper presents a multi-parameter hazard rating system for evaluating groundwatercontamination potential of municipal solid waste dumps and landfills.

A process-based preferential flow transport model was implemented in a geographic information system to locate areas in the landscape with high risk of contamination by agrochemicals, especially pesticides. Protecting ground water resources necessitates a ...
