Identification of appropriate landfill sites for City of ChittagongKazi Mahfuzur Rahman
ABSTRACT
Urban solid waste management is a serious environmental issue confronting the cities in developing countries like Bangladesh. Apathy towards the problem, inadequacy of field level information and data, and resource constraints may be blamed for the dismal situation of solid waste management often visible in our cities. The most common problems associated with the absence of sustainable solid waste management practice include diseases transmission, odour nuisance, atmospheric and water pollution, visual blight, fire hazards and economic losses. In the three major cities of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Chittagong & Khulna, per capita production of solid waste is around 0.4kg /capita / day, but only a fraction of this waste is carried to the final disposal site. A recent study on Municipal Solid Waste Management, funded by Bangladesh Municipal Development Fund (BMDF), found that waste generated in Chittagong was 0.352kg/cap/day. Considering per capita generation of solid waste as 0.352kg to 0.4kg per capita per day, for a population of 25, 92,459 distributed within the 41 wards of the city (BBS 2011), total solid waste generated in Chittagong will be around 913 tons to 1037 tons per day in 2012.
Currently, Chittagong City Corporation has only two dumping yards: one at Ananda Bazar, Halishahar at the mid western part of the city and the other at Arefin Nagar, Pahartali at the northern tip of the city. None of these sites are sanitary landfill. Considering the city area of 168 sq.kms, only two dumping sites are not sufficient to cater to the requirement of the city. Long distances between the collection points and the disposal site are responsible for inefficient utilization of the CCC trucks and the resulting increase in the haulage time that eventually increases the costs of collection and disposal.
This paper aims to identify a number of appropriate landfill sites within the city for cost effective, efficient and safe disposal of solid wastes. An appropriate landfill site must satisfy environmental safety criteria and attributes that will enable the wastes to be isolated so that there is no risk to people and the environment. The criteria utilized for identifying appropriate landfill locations include natural physical characteristics as well as socioeconomic, ecological, engineering and land-use parameters. This study utilized Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Method (MCDM) for the identification and selection of appropriate landfill sites within the city of Chittagong. Thirteen sites were identified initially. Out of these sites four were found to be most appropriate and suitable for use as landfill. The sites thus identified, if utilized by CCC, are expected to bring a major change, in terms of cost effectiveness, efficiency and safety, in the current scenario of solid waste management in the city.

Any multi criteria decision analysis process need to weigh the criteria and to know any weighting method the best to use according the nature and degree of complexity of the problem. There are four method for criteria weighting Rank, Rating, Pairwise and Trade-off methods.

There is no difference between the results within Pairwise or Ranking method only in size of landfill in west part of study area (five sites were selected in each try). Within trade-off and rating methods, there are more than five site were selected.

Rwanda is developing rapidly but development should not harm the environment. it is in regard that waste management industry is being regulated in all levels of the country from the basic level called "Imidugudu". therefore every one should be aware that waste generation is increase rapidly, hence, more attention must be given to it to minimize related health and environmental hazards for the wealth and health of all populations.

Third presentation in the series to the Land Use Sustainable Development working group to the President of the university under the Environmental Policy Advisory Council regarding the Landfill Remediation & Mitigation Project.
This presentation is a pitch to the subgroup a series of student redesigns for the 60 acre site. Once housing the campus landfill and chemical storage pits.
Landfill leachate varies widely in composition, it usually contains both dissolved and suspended material. The generation of leachate is caused principally by precipitation percolating through waste deposited in a landfill. As leachate first emerges, it can be black in colour, anoxic, and possibly effervescent, with dissolved and entrained gases.

UNIT II STUDY GUIDE
Solid Waste Characteristics,
Quantities, and Collection
Course Learning Outcomes for Unit II
Upon completion of this unit, students should be able to:
1. Identify municipal solid waste and its characteristics.
2. Identify the composition of different types of solid waste.
3. Explain the heat values of refuse and how they are expressed.
4. Analyze the different methods of solid waste collection.
5. Describe truck routing and the use of transfer stations.
6. Analyze litter collection methods and where they are more beneficial.
Unit Lesson
Unit II consists of Chapters 2 and 3 - Municipal Solid Waste Characteristics and
Quantities and Collection. This unit involves concepts as well as numerical
computations. This lecture will focus on computations.
Chapter 2
Example 2-1 introduces you to different types of household waste that are
produced. The example computes what percentage of waste can be diverted
from the landfill as well as the percentage of recyclables as a fraction of the
landfilled materials.
Example 2-2 computes the moisture content of a residential waste. The values
for moisture, such as "6" for paper is 6% moisture obtained from Table 2-1.
"w" is wet weight and "d" is dry weight.
Example 2-3; A calorimeter is a method for determining the heat of combustion.
The example shows that the original refuse sample produces 4000 Btu/lb when
burned. If moisture is removed from the sample before burning, then the sample
can produce 4444 Btu/lb when burned. Further, if neither ash production nor
moisture is included in energy production, then 5714 Btu/lb of heat are available.
Examples 2-4 and 2-5 explain the computation of statistical means.
You should practice working the problems at the end of the chapter. Answers to
select questions are provided below.
Problem 2-1: Landfill will fill in 30 days
Problem 2-3: 2.8 lb/in2
Problem 2-13: Density of loose refuse is 206 lb/yd3

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Sustentability - TEXTO REFERENTE AS QUESTÕES
everything we do ha an impact on nature. Inevitably, when we use products and services in
our daily lives, we contribute to carbon emissions that cause the greenhouse effect. The
2. choices that we make in our daily lives, - what we eat, whow we organize our homes, what
form of transportation we use - influence our carbom footprint*. Have you ever thought that
in each individual reduces his or her impact, the world might be different in the future? Here
are some tips of fighting carbon emissions:
use fluorescent light isntead incandescent,
buy energy efficient appliences
walk or ride a bicicle instead go by car,
recycle materials
according to wikipedia, sustainability is the hability to meet the needs of the present without
compromissing the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs.
we have to coexist with nature and teach our children and grandchildren to do the same . are
you read to do your part? One person alone can't save the enviroment, but all these actions
toguether will certainly make a difference.
