Leachate Management

Leachate management refers to the process of handling the liquid that seeps through organic waste in landfills, often containing harmful substances. As waste decomposes, moisture can collect and dissolve various chemicals, resulting in leachate. Proper management involves collecting, treating, and monitoring this liquid to prevent pollution of groundwater and surrounding environments. Systems like liners, collection pipes, and treatment facilities are used to minimize environmental impact and ensure public safety. Effective leachate management is crucial for sustainable waste disposal practices and protecting ecosystems.
