Moisture Control During Landfill Operation Journal Articles

abstract

• During the operation of a landfill, significant quantities of moisture may infiltrate the facility, with the infiltration volume dependent upon both soil cover design and operational practices. A simulation model has been developed to represent the construction of a landfill and the associated moisture control options. Modelling results show that stochastic rather than average precipitation inputs should be considered. Cell building pattern and snow removal are shown to be operational variables that potentially have a significant impact upon moisture content buildup within a landfill facility.
