ABSTRACT
In our study assessed the impact of an open dumpsite on the quality of surface and shallow groundwater within its
vicinity. Leachate and groundwater samples were collected from Vendipalayam, Semur and Vairapalayam landfill
sites in Erode city, Tamil Nadu, India, to study the possible impact of leachate percolation on groundwater quality.
Concentrations of various physicochemical parameters including heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Fe and Zn)
were determined in leachate samples and are reported. The concentrations of Cl-, NO3
-, SO4
2-, NH4
+ were found to
be in considerable levels in the groundwater samples particularly near to the landfill sites, likely indicating that
groundwater quality is being significantly affected by leachate percolation. The common constraints faced
environmental agencies include lack of institutional arrangement, insufficient financial resources, absence of
bylaws and standards, inflexible work schedules, insufficient information on quantity and composition of waste, and
inappropriate technology.
