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 …

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 …

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

Alternative earthen final covers are being considered throughout North America as cost-
effective alternatives to prescriptive covers. Regulatory agencies typically require field …

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 …

Lysimeters are always utilized to simulate the landfill environmental conditions due to their
relatively low expense and the short duration of the research. However, lysimeters tend to be …

In this study one open dump lysimeter with leachate detection and collection system as well
as two sanitary lysimeter having two different types of cap liner were simulated. After …

Six large-scale landfill test covers were constructed and monitored for water balance from
May 1997 through June 2002. Two of the covers were used as US EPA standard baseline …
