This simulation illustrates variations in leachate flow rate and methane gas during the life of a landfill. (non-interactive HTML version)

Landfill managers must understand these variations in order to:

  1. properly remove leachate as it accumulates, thereby reducing the threat of groundwater contamination
  2. use methane gas to produce steam and generate electricity

 

 

Developed in 2002 for the course ENVM 649: Principles of Waste Management and Pollution Control
Produced by the UMUC Center for the Virtual University and Graduate School.
