Discuss at least two aspects of concern of a municipal waste landfill
How important is the implementation ofaSanitary Landfill in the economy ofacountry? And how vital is the involvement of the society in its operation?
Landfills are dynamic systems, with several design components. Using no more than three sentences explain why some types of waste are more suitable for final disposal through landfills than other kinds of waste. Very briefly outline the impact of poorly designed landfills on water quality.
