For these reasons, as well as concern over the number, location, and operations practices of many town dumps (e.g., Commission to Study Problem of Solid Waste Disposal, 1965), it was determined early in the waste management planning process that accurate data about waste generation and disposa...
Apart from all measures to control and improve the quality (several days of purification by water settlement) of water that is discharged from tailing dumps in some periods, it is possible contaminated water to be discharge into the nearest watercourses. As a result of the discharge of contaminat...
Here, for the benefit of readers, is the practical wisdom I have gained and documented during visits to 136 Indian and 20 foreign cities from 1994 through 2006, to observe their good and bad waste management practices, garbage dumps, composting sites, landfills and waste-water management. One ...
and there are 50 thousand registered dumps of toxic chemical waste, 75% of them being located in regions with important water resources. Industrial waste water is rich in various inorganic and organic compounds. Moreover, it can contain radioactive substances or be hot. Much of this water is ...
We stopped at one of our neighbors’ home and asked him where we could take our trash. He responded that he didn’t know where the dump was because he just takes his trash up into a valley and dumps it. Since he’s only got an acre of land, the valley has to be on someone else...
Because every year, in the world, eight million tons of plastic, escaped from the sewers, carried and vomited by the rivers and dispersed by the currents, come to feed these submerged dumps. To the delight of microorganisms – especially bacteria and microalgae – which cling to these residues...
Many temporary and permanent reservoirs of water occur on or near coal-waste dumps in the Lower- and Upper Silesian Coal Basins (Poland). Little or nothing is known of the degree to which their water chemistry might reflect (i) reservoir type, i.e., whether permanent or temporary, (ii) ...
(2021) presented residual network 50 and feature pyramid network to identify illegal dumps in aerial images. After testing, the method can reach 88% accuracy. Devesa and Brust (2021) proposed a method based on neural networks to identify illegal dumping sites in satellite images. However, this ...
This is a much better solution, but costs her $150 every time she dumps a load. (As a “full service” pet waste removal provider, she didn’t want to simply stink up her customer’s trash bins.) What’s Next? Erica went full-time with Kroopin’s Poopin Scoopin when her earnings...
plays a significant role in spreading pollutants with the potential of contaminating groundwater, reaching distances of several kilometers (El-Fadel et al.1997). Open dumps are the most common waste disposal strategy seen in many urban areas in Iran, characterized by the irresponsible disposal of ...
