Introduction
Landfills have been discovered to be the greatest dangers to the quality of water in underground water resources, not just in India but also in other parts of the world(Fatta et al.,1999). Over 90 percent of the Municipal Solid Wastes created in India are carelessly dumped in bare land. The amount of waste that is put in landfills or any other open place is subject to either underflow of groundwater or infiltration facilitated by precipitation or different ways that cause infiltration of water(Chatterjee,2010). During the rainy season, dumped solid and liquid wastes receive rainwater, and the decomposed by-products flow to the water sources. The liquid which is made up of many inorganic and organic compound known as leachate. This compound gathers at the bottommost of the landfill. Then it infiltrates via soil and finally reaches the groundwater hence affecting the quality of the water taken for domestic and commercial purposes(Mor et al., 2006).
