- Abstract
- The design and maintenance of landfills for waste disposal has received great attention over the last few decades dues to the increasing and attention paid to environment protection issues, such as ground and ground water protection. Over the years , landfill liner construction has seen innovative new practices such as addition of engineered clays, synthetic lining and designing of more sophisticated leachate collection systems. The main objective of such pratices is to enhance the landfill liner performance as a hyrdraulic barrier system and to minimise or prevent the migration of landfill leachate into the surroundinng hydro-geological system. The compacted c;lay liners (CCLs) are among the most widely used hydraulic barrier system in modern waste containment. "From abstract"
