Solid waste is a severe global environment problem in both
developed and developing countries. Leachate is a hazardous liquid
produced in landfills as a result of interaction of moisture
with municipal solid waste (MSW). Improper methods of disposing
MSW into the dump yards result in pollution of soil system
(Sunil et al., 2009). Due to heavy rainfall during monsoon, leachate
flows out from non-standard landfills without any hindrance into
the adjacent regions resulting in contamination of soil and natural
water bodies.
