Abstract

A liquid which drained or leaches through the waste at a landfill site is known as leachate. Leachate from a landfill varies widely in composition depending on the age of the landfill and the type of waste that it contains. It can usually contain both dissolved and suspended material. This study concentrate on the composition of various parameters of leachate collected from a highly saturated sanitary landfill sites at Bhalswa, Delhi. it has been found that Bhalswa landfill leachate have highest concentration of different parameters such as total dissolve solid, total solid and electrical conductivity i.e., 9890 mg/l, 12580 mg/l and 14892 mho/cm respectively. These results will be helpful in future for determination of expected impact on ground water and biodiversity due to generation and percolation of leachate. This study will also be helpful to deal with the possible low cost treatment methods.
