Abstract:
A covering system is described that is to be installed at a domestic waste landfill to reduce the generation of leachate.
The covering system consists of three parts: 1.5 m top- and subsoil, 0.5 m barrier layer and 0.3 m gas drainage layer. The waterbalance of the covering system is measured by two large-scale lysimeters (9.5 X 16.5 m) and soil moisture measurements with neutron moisture probe.
