Production and management of leachate from municipal landfills are evaluated in this book, for the purpose of identifying information and techniques useful to design engineers and site operators. Also assessed are: advantages, limitations, and comparative costs of various approaches, for the estimation and mitigation of environmental and public health impacts, management options, and additional research needs on the generation, control, and monitoring of landfill leachates. The objectives of this study are: to clarify the understanding of leachate production and management options through a critical review and analysis of existing information, to identify practical information and techniques which can be used by design engineers and site operators, to delineate weaknesses in the available data base, and to identify techniques which may be useful in the estimation and mitigation of environmental and public health impacts caused by leachate generation.
