Why must landfills be placed far away from groundwater sources? Why were carp introduced to the Murray River? How did they clean the River Thames? Why is the Great Basin a region of inland drainage? Why is the Fraser River brown?
So if we need a place to dispose the trash, instead of recycling it through dubious processes where it ends up in other countries, in bad landfills, or it ends up in the ocean or nothing happens to it, just throw it in a landfill and you can do that in a safe and environmental way...
Why must landfills be placed far away from groundwater sources? Why are metal ores non-renewable resources? Why are minerals important to the rock cycle? Why is coal a biochemical sedimentary rock? Why are heavy metals toxic? Why is there less nitrate contamination of groundwater?
