CONTAMINATION TRANSPORT IN GROUNDWATER FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL POLLUTANTS.

Waste disposal management stays one of the primary challenges in India. Wastes, if not properly disposed could lead to pollution of surface and subsurface water in its urge environment. Expanded interest in municipal and industrial facilities due to over population has brought about the increasing number of solid waste generation. This study is conducted to evaluate the groundwater quality framework around two dumpsites present in Ranipet and Walaja in Vellore District, Tamilnadu located in India. Based on the ?ndings from this study, the concentration of various physico-chemical parameters Such as conductivity, TDS, Chloride, Sulfate, Phosphate, Nitrate, BOD, COD, Nickel, Lead, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Cadmium, Zinc, Iron, Potassium & Calcium were recorded at all the sampling sites. Leachate was characterized by high contents of natural and inorganic chemicals and the toxic nature increasing from heavy metals concentrations, the higher concentration of Heavy metals like Chromium, Cadmium and Lead in the water samples of bore well shows the penetration of landfill leachate has occurred to the subsurface water. This study is done to evaluate the groundwater quality framework in two dumpsites located in Vellore District, Tamilnadu.
