Numbers of criteria have to be considered before reaching a practical solution for Landfill site
selection. Proximity criteria will include distance from settlement / populated areas, road
network, railway line, surface water (rivers, canals, nallahs etc.). Groundwater depth would be
considered to avoid groundwater contamination due to landfill leachate. Land use classes
derived from satellite image classification would be analyzed to find suitable sites. Main focus
will be on identification of open land meeting all other criteria for building a landfill.
5. Expected Outcomes:
Analysis of the study area using Satellite Imagery and GIS analysis techniques will result into
some sites which would meet all requirements set in the selection criteria and also satisfies all
stakeholders including administrative bodies, local population etc. From the available options
some (2 to 3) optimal sites would be suggested to the decision makers keeping in view the
operational and economic viability.
