A landfill site serves Kwa Maritane. The IRD is 90 T/day. The evaporation records yield 1800 mm/year and the rain fall 600 mm/year. What is the classification of this landfill?

Waste deposited is a General waste (given IRD IS 90T/day for such a high generation we consider general waste.)

IRD = 90 T/day

MRD = IRD (1+d)^t

MRD = Maximum rate of Deposition after t years

IRD = Initial rate of Deposition

d = expected annual development rate = 3% per annum

t = years since deposition started at IRD ( assuming land fill will serve for a period of 15 years)

MRD = 90(1+0.03)^15 = 140.T/day (25<140<150)

size classification is S.

Climatic water balance B = R - E

B= 600 - 1800 = -1200 mm/year

B is negative

Hence the classification is G:S:B^-
