Water balance covers for landfill closure are used as a barrier which act with the natural
processes to reduce percolation. The ideal performance of water balance cover is …

Evapotranspiration (ET) cover is an improved cover system over the conventional landfill
final soil cover. Hydrologic properties, such as hydraulic conductivity, moisture content, and …

The use of the evapotranspiration cover for landfill is increasing because of its long-term
enhanced performance. However, the performance of evapotranspiration cover primarily …

To evaluate the differences in the hydrological performance of actual earthen cap overlying
municipal solid waste (MSW) versus a lysimeter, which is commonly used to measure the …

Evapotranspiration (ET) landfill covers are an emerging final cover system in contrast to the
widely implemented conventional practice for landfill closure. Performance of an ET cover …

This research presents and discusses the Soil Water Retention Curves (SWRC) for a
compacted soil used as base liner of a sanitary landfill. Soil samples were submitted to …

Measurement of net percolation from the base of a cover system into the underlying waste
material is very often a key component of a cover system monitoring program. The units of …

Landfills are the most widely used facilities for solid waste disposal. Landfill covers are used
to reduce the quantity of water that infiltrates into solid waste landfills, isolate solid waste …

Lysimeters are considered the most appropriate instrument for assessing percolations rates
through landfill final covers. Their design, however, must take into consideration the …

A profile probe (PP) is a handy instrument for simultaneously measuring volumetric water
content (θ) at shallow multiple depths in the field. The accuracy of the θ measurement is …
