How can GIS be used to monitor landfill waste?
Landfill waste is a major environmental and public health issue that requires careful management and monitoring. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be a powerful tool to help landfill operators, regulators, and researchers to collect, analyze, and visualize spatial data related to landfill waste. In this article, we will explore how GIS can be used to monitor landfill waste in four aspects: site selection, waste volume estimation, leachate and gas emissions, and post-closure rehabilitation.
