leachate collection systems

Leachate collection systems are essential components of landfills designed to manage liquid that drains through waste materials. As waste decomposes, it generates a liquid called leachate, which can contain harmful substances. To prevent contamination of ground and surface water, leachate collection systems gather this liquid and transport it to treatment facilities. These systems typically consist of permeable layers, pipes, and storage tanks that help control and treat the leachate, ensuring environmental protection and compliance with safety regulations. Overall, they play a crucial role in managing waste responsibly and safeguarding public health.
