MONITORING-SYSTEM FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT OF A LANDFILL DISPOSAL SITE

A landfill disposal site can be described as ''an artificial vessel'' and must satisfy the following three demands (1) storage and disposal of waste; (2) protection of the environment; and (3) benefit for nearb y residents by taking advantage of consequential effects. The concept of risk was effectively considered to emphasize the importance of moni toring systems in landfill disposal sites, especially to protect the e nvironment. Because a part of the R&D was involved in creating a monit oring system for a landfill disposal site, the present development and future potential of a system which can detect the leakage of water-sh ield sheets, was discussed.
