Inhaltsangabe

Uncontrolled disposal of municipal solid waste in developing urban centers has intensified concerns over groundwater contamination and public health risks. This book presents a comprehensive assessment of leachate generation, subsurface migration, and its impact on surrounding water systems. Integrating hydrogeochemical analysis, physicochemical parameters, and microbiological evaluation, the study investigates contamination patterns across selected dumpsites and adjacent groundwater sources. Advanced analytical techniques, including Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and standard microbiological methods, were employed to quantify pollutant loads and assess compliance with international water quality standards. The findings reveal significant variations in contamination levels, driven by seasonal changes, waste composition, and site management practices. By linking scientific evidence with environmental risk assessment, this work provides critical insights for policymakers, environmental managers, and researchers. It further highlights the urgent need for sustainable waste management strategies and effective groundwater protection measures in rapidly urbanising regions.
