摘要:Safe and reliable disposal of municipal solid wastes and residues is an important component of integratedwaste management. Open dumps, commonly found in Asian countries, are land disposal sites at which solid wastes aredisposed of in such a manner that does not protect the environment, susceptible to open burning, and exposed to diseasevectors and scavengers. Leachate is a polluted liquid emanating from the base of the landfill, which containsinnumerable organic and inorganic compounds generated due to which serious ground water contamination wasobserved in wells. Present paper is a case study of Uruli Devachi (Open dump site), near Pune (M.S.) where daily1000–1200 tonnes of solid waste are disposed at Uruli-Devachi village, and the site was dealing with problems offrequent fires, smoke, flies, birds and bad odour. PMC was spraying the waste with water to prevent fires, resulting ineven greater quantities of leachate generated due to which Serious ground water contamination was observed in wells.
