Fixation of Soil Movement in Dryland Areas: A Review
Abstract: The dry regions occupy many parts of the world. The dry regions accoyped widely These regions increased progressively due to the climatic changes the globe is exposed to. In addition to climate change, the combined consequences of poor land management, and unsustainable water usage turned many places into drylands. The soils of these lands became victim to the impact of wind erosion, and, as a result, increased desert areas and …

Use of Coconut Fibre as a Suitable pH and Rheology Enhancer
Abstract: This paper studied the use of coconut fibre as a substitute for caustic soda in drilling fluids for the improvement of pH in a water-based mud. The coconut coir was dried in the sun for 7 hours and ground into very fine particles, after which it was placed in an electronic oven at a temperature of 105°C for 1 hour to remove any remaining moisture. Sieving using a 200 mm …

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) …
