Review of Chloride and Sulphate Attenuation in Ground Water Nearby Solid-Waste Landfill Sites/Chloridu Ir Sulfatu Mazinimo Pozeminiame Vandenyje Salia Savartynu Problemos (Report‪)‬

1. Introduction The impact of leachate on groundwater and other water resources have attracted a lot of attention worldwide because of its awesome environmental significance. Leachate migration from waste sites or landfills and the release of pollutants from sediment (under certain conditions) pose a high risk to groundwater resource if not adequately managed. Ground water is getting polluted due to various human activities such as solid-waste landfill sites arising out of municipal and industrial activities. While the temporal changes have been attributed to dilution and concentration phenomena governed by climatic factors, the spatial variations in the geochemical characteristics of groundwater appeared to be related to pollution due to effluents from the nearby industry (Pawar et al. l998).
