DESIGNING OF SANITARY LANDFILL:
INTRODUCTION
• Sanitary landfill are essential waste management facilities
that provide a controlled environment for the disposal of
solid waste.
• This presentation will outline the key steps and
considerations involved in designing a sanitary landfill,
along with associated challenges and potential solutions.
• The project involves:
• Extensive Planning
• Site Selection
• Engineering Considerations
• Environmental Impact Assessment
• Operational Aspect
