In view of the great demand for information regarding landfills, a series of international reference books on landfilling of waste has been established. This book, the second volume, deals with lining and leachate collection. It consists of edited, selected contributions to the International Symposia on Sanitary Landfills held in Sardinia every second year. Topics of discussion include: lining systems; design and construction; properties and quality control of clay materials; properties and quality control of synthetic materials; geotextiles and geogrids, and leachate drainage and collection.
