Charactrization of the Landfill Using Ves Data Inversion

A011 CHARACTRIZATION OF THE LANDFILL USING VES DATA INVERSION 1 INTRODUCTION The pollution of aquifers by landfills can contaminate valuable and scarce water resources in most overcrowded communities. The pollution in freshwater can be due to flow of leachate into the aquifers. Pollution investigations can involve determining hydro-geological lithological and structural characteristics at a site; assessment of relations and connections between the land surface and groundwater; detection of the presence of pollutants in the vadose and groundwater zones; and estimation of pollutant concentrations and patterns of movement. Surface geo-electrical methods have been used to image groundwater contamination for a number
