“…The siting of MSW landfill is a spatial multi-criteria decision analysis (SMCDA) for which both GIS and MCDA methods should be used (Kontos et al 2005). Some relevant studies on landfill siting and solid waste management have integrated GIS and MCDA in various ways which also include analytic hierarchy process(AHP) using weighted linear combination (WLC) (Carver 1991;Siddiqui et al 1996;Charnpratheep et al 1997;Kao et al 1997;Lukasheh et al 2001;Kontos et al 2003Kontos et al , 2005Higgs 2006;Şener et al 2006;Chang et al 2008;Delgado et al 2008;Wang et al 2009;Şener et al 2010;Kara, Doratli 2012;Yildirim 2012;Achillas et al 2013;Allesch, Brunner 2014;Demosouka et al 2014).…”

Abstract. Trinitrotoluene (TNT), a commonly used explosive for military and industrial applications, can cause serious environmental pollution. 28-day laboratory pot experiment was carried out applying bioaugmentation using laboratory selected bacterial strains as inoculum, biostimulation with molasses and cabbage leaf extract, and phytoremediation using rye and blue fenugreek to study the effect of these treatments on TNT removal and changes in soil microbial community responsible for contaminant degradation. Chemical analyses revealed significant decreases in TNT concentrations, including reduction of some of the TNT to its amino derivates during the 28-day tests. The combination of bioaugmentation-biostimulation approach coupled with rye cultivation had the most profound effect on TNT degradation. Although plants enhanced the total microbial community abundance, blue fenugreek cultivation did not significantly affect the TNT degradation rate. The results from molecular analyses suggested the survival and elevation of the introduced bacterial strains throughout the experiment. Keywords: TNT, bioaugmentation, biostimulation, phytoremediation, microbial community.

“…The reasons for choosing this value were to avoid the high level of voltage power that results from these lines, and to provide electricity for the infrastructure in a landfill site [33,39]. Distances less than 30 m was given a grading of 0 (Fig.…”

Abstract:The selection of a landfill site is considered as a complicated task because this process is based on many factors and restrictions. For Al-Qasim Qadhaa, which is situated in the southern part of the Babylon Governorate, Iraq, there is no landfill site in that area that conforms to the scientific criteria for selecting sites for landfill. For this reason, 15 criteria were adopted in this study (groundwater depth, rivers, soil types, agriculture lands use, land use, elevation, slope, gas pipelines, oil pipelines, power lines, roads, railways, urban centers, villages and archaeological sites) using GIS (geographic information system), which has a large ability to manage input data. In addition, the AHP (analytical hierarchy process) method was used to derive the relative weightings for each criterion using pair-wise comparison. To obtain the suitability index for candidate landfill sites, a weighted linear combination method was used. After combining these methods, two suitable candidate landfill sites, with areas of 2.766 km 2 and 2.055 km 2 , respectively, were found to satisfy the scientific and environmental requirements. The area of these sites can accommodate solid waste from 2020 until 2030 based on the required area, which was 0.702 km 2 .

“…Landfills should be located over the surface of the ground to prevent groundwater from pollution [32]. The "river" criterion was adopted in order to protect surface water of Shatt Al-Hilla river (which is passing through the study area) from contamination by leachate [33,34].To reduce the potential of leachate leaking from the landfill and to avoid the risk of flooding [35], the criterion of topography (elevation) was selected.…”

Combining GIS Applications and Method of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (AHP) for Landfill Siting in Al-Hashimiyah Qadhaa, Babylon, Iraq

Abstract:Landfill siting is a complex process. It is one of the major problems in waste management, where many factors should be taken into consideration when selecting a suitable site for landfill in any given area. At the present time, there are many random waste disposal sites distributed throughout Al-Hashimiyah Qadhaa in Iraq. In this study, the Geographic Information System (GIS) and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used to select the best sites for landfill. The process of selecting sites for landfill in Al-Hashimiyah Qadhaa comprised two steps. First, fifteen different criteria were mapped and incorporated into overlay analyses within GIS software to produce the final suitability index map for the site. The second step comprises the exclusion of unsuitable areas from the final map to simplify identification of the candidate sites for landfill in the study area. The weightings of criteria were identified using AHP, and the weightings of the sub-criteria of each criterion were determined based on multiple factors. In order to accommodate solid waste from 2020 until 2030, two suitable candidate landfill sites were determined which fulfill the required area of 1.013 km 2 with areas of 1.374 km 2 and 1.288 km 2 respectively.
