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 …

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 …

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 …

Final cover system for landfill closure is one of the most significant components of a landfill.
Recently, water balance cover systems, also referred to as evapotranspiration (ET) cover for …

Understanding the moisture distribution pattern and associated suction variability of soil in
response to environmental loading (eg, precipitation, temperature) is important. However …

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 …

One of the major purposes of landfill final covers is to minimize the infiltration of precipitation
into the underlying waste. Deployment of conventional clay covers, geosynthetic clay liner …

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 …

The hydrologic performance of evapotranspiration (ET) cover system for waste containment
