Assessment of landfill site suitability using GIS, remote sensing, and the multi-criteria decision-making (AHP) approach, Ethiopia

Application of optical images and analytical hierarchy process model for solid waste dumping site analysis in Kombolcha town, Northeastern, Ethiopia

“…To reduce this burring issue, the current solid waste dumping site is greater than 500 m far from the Borkena River. Several scholars (for example [ 8 , 16 , 20 , 28 ] state that the minimum distance between solid waste dumping sites and rivers is greater than 500 m. The minimum distance between dumping sites and rivers varies for instance 200 m [ 26 , 48 ] and 100 m [ 9 ]. Likewise, the identified solid waste dumping sites of this study are greater than 500 m from groundwater well points (GWWP).…”
