Arora","doi":"10.51983/tarce-2016.5.1.2225","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51983/tarce-2016.5.1.2225","url":null,"abstract":"The dumping of solid waste in sanitary landfills can cause significant impacts on the environment and human health. The main concern is focussed on the pollution potential due to movement of the leachate generated from these landfills into the groundwater, surface water or the sea. Hence, to decide whether the leachate is to be collected and treated, or may be allowed to discharge into the adjoining soil or public sewer or surface water body, it is essential to have the assessment of its composition, strength and its variation with time and space. In this paper, the experimental work carried out at the first engineered landfill site in New Delhi, India, to ascertain the composition of leachate, and its effect on the groundwater under the existing scenario, is presented. For asserting the contamination potential of the landfill site, a tool called Leachate Pollution Index (LPI) has been used. LPI is an increasing scale index, where a higher value indicates poor environmental condition, developed based on the Rand Corporation’s Delphi Technique; which is an opinion based research technique to extract information from a group of panellists. LPI includes 18 parameters, out of which the leachate samples were analyzed for 16 parameters viz. pH, TDS, BOD5, COD, TKN, Ammonia nitrogen, Total Iron, Copper, Nickel, Zinc, Lead, Total chromium, Mercury, Arsenic, Chlorides and Cyanide. The groundwater samples collected from the vicinity of the landfill were analyzed for 12 parameters viz. pH, TDS, Chlorides, Total iron, Arsenic, Cyanide, Lead, Zinc, Copper, Total chromium, Mercury and Nickel. In order to determine the factors which had higher detection rate and larger impact, the Pearson correlation matrix has been developed among the parameters tested of groundwater samples. Results clearly indicated that the likely contamination of groundwater due to leachate released from the landfill. Results are further compared with Bureau of Indian Standards and standards laid down by World Health Organisation (WHO), for drinking water. Presence of contaminants in groundwater particularly near the landfill sites warns its quality and thus renders the associated aquifer unreliable for domestic water supply and other uses.","PeriodicalId":437898,"journal":{"name":"The Asian Review of Civil Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121147425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selected study area has only one rain gauge station located near the Kundha bridge giving birth to considerable uncertainties in predicting the catchment flow. Application of fuzzy logic in prediction can minimize these uncertainties of the ungauged watershed. Fuzzy logic model helps to simulate the unknown relationship between the hydrological data and the catchment attributes. The research paper weighs soil type, land use, slope with fuzzy numbers. Finally, to obtain the runoff the comprehensive weight is multiplied with the rainfall data. The runoff thus obtained is used to create runoff map of the watershed. Natural break classification system is utilized to classify the runoff of the entire watershed. The model is validated with the water level records of the Kundha reservoir. This runoff map is valuable in landslide susceptibility analysis. This model not only serves for prediction but also prove to be an effective tool for further research.","PeriodicalId":437898,"journal":{"name":"The Asian Review of Civil Engineering","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125007173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Processes either add value or waste to the production of a good or service. The seven wastes originated in Japan, where waste is known as “muda.” “The seven wastes” is a tool to further categorize “muda” and was originally developed by Toyota’s Chief Engineer Taiichi Ohno as the core of the Toyota Production System, also known as Lean Manufacturing. To eliminate waste, it is important to understand exactly what waste s and where it exists. While products significantly differ between factories, the typical wastes found in manufacturing environments re quite similar. For each waste, there is a strategy to reduce or eliminate its effect on a company, thereby improving overall performance and quality.","PeriodicalId":437898,"journal":{"name":"The Asian Review of Civil Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134106130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
