Landuse/Landcover Changes and Geo-Environmental Impacts on Beluguppa Mandal of Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh, India, using Remote Sensing and GIS Modelling
Abstract: The study aims to discriminate the changing pattern of land use and its geo-environmental impacts over the Beluguppa mandal of Anantapur district in the division of AP state, India. Satellite imageries were analyzed to perceive the changes in landuse and landcover (LULC) in the past 19 years in Beluguppa mandal. The assistance of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) modeling has been adopted in mapping the LULC changes. …

Role of Clay Liners in Municipal Solid Waste Landfills: A Review
Abstract: Rapid population growth has significantly increased the generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) in urban and suburban regions. Disposal of MSW in landfills without proper liner systems may lead to leachate migration and subsequent contamination of groundwater and surrounding soils. The use of liner systems at the base of landfills is therefore essential to minimize leachate percolation and protect the environment. Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) and compacted clay liners (CCLs) …
