摘要：In the recent years, due to the rapid increase in industrialization and population, the waste generated due to both industries and household has escalated in an uncontrolled fashion. In developing countries like India, the municipal solid waste management is majorly done using conventional methods like landfills and abandoning the waste at dumpsites. These landfills and dumpsites have become a major threat to groundwater quality. In this paper, the impact of leachate generated due to Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill site on groundwater quality is assessed. The main aim of the study is to calculate the amount of harmful components in groundwater and to check the effect of leachate on the quality of groundwater. For this task, samples of groundwater were collected from various locations of the city. The leachate samples were produced in the lab from the garbage collected from different locations and using the artificial rainfall machine. Different physio-chemical parameters are calculated from these samples like pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), Magnesium Hardness, Calcium Hardness, turbidity, alkalinity are calculated. The Pearson correlation coefficients are calculated for this task. Statistical parameters like average, minimum, maximum and standard deviation are also calculated.
