Abstract

Municipal solid waste generating in a city is emerging as a management issue in India. It continuously degrades air, water, and soil quality in the surrounding area. Population growth and migration along with heavy industrialization in city premises is leading to the increased generation of solid waste on a daily basis. In the present paper, an attempt was made to estimate the leachate pollution index for a dumpsite at Jhiri, Ranchi. The result was compared with few developed dumpsite in Delhi. The application of LPI helps us to identify the strength of various pollutants and functioning of dumpsite which may be useful for taking up appropriate steps and planning for leachate treatment and management practices.
