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

Lysimetry has been acknowledged in the literature as the most effective means of assessing
deep percolation rates through landfill final covers. Designing lysimeters requires several …

One of the most challenging parameters to estimate in leachate generation quantification is
the percolation rate through a landfill cover. Since leachate generation is critical to …

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 …

A comprehensive study was conducted to examine the performance and possible changes
in the effectiveness of landfill surface covers. Three different profiles of mineral landfill caps …

Abstract The City of Regina Fleet Street landfill, north-east of Regina, Saskatchewan, is
approaching its maximum capacity after a 47-year operating life and plans are now being …

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

The goal of waste disposal in landfills is to reduce risk to human health by isolating
contaminants until they no longer pose a hazard. To achieve this, the performance of a …

The water balance and effectiveness of a landfill cover containing a liner from fine-grained
dredged material ('METHA-material') and a drainage layer from sandy dredged material …
