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

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 system is an alternative practice for landfill closure compared
to the conventional approach because of its durability and low cost of construction. The …

In order to test the efficacy of a cold-region evapotranspiration (ET) landfill cover against a
conventional compacted clay (CCL) landfill cover, two pilot scale covers were constructed in …

A conventional landfill cover system is designed as a barrier layer system, with low hydraulic
conductivity, to minimize the percolation of water from the cover to the waste …

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 …

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 …

Assessment of liquid (soil water) flux under unsaturated flow conditions is an important factor
in permitting and design of evapotranspirative final cover systems (ET covers) for landfills …

One of the main purposes of landfill cover system is to prevent the water infiltration into the
waste mass and eventually minimize the generation of leachate. In this effort, the most …

This paper reviews the relative merits of two approaches for performance monitoring of
alternative earthen final covers (AEFCs):(1) direct measurement of percolation via large …
