| dc.description.abstract | Any land not suitable for any use is commonly known as wasteland. A large part of India comes under different categories of wasteland. These classifications generally do not include the landfill as a wasteland but due to the inherent nature of landfills, these areas also act like a wasteland. This paper is about the understanding of the description of basic characteristics, spatial extent and classification of wasteland so that to understand that the landfills should also be considered as wasteland. Landfill creates several types of environmental as well as socio-economic problems too. The leachate created within landfill contaminates the underground water resources. The gas generated within landfill pollutes the nearby atmosphere. The landfill also acts as a breeding place for vectors of infectious diseases. Landfill fire, landfill slide, and landfill subsidence are also great hazards. Overall, this paper summarizes the methods of waste management, types of landfills and the methods of landfill reclamation with its benefits and drawbacks. Landfill reclamation can transform a wasteland into a potentially useful place for commercial or recreational activities. Major methods of landfill reclamation include photocopying, landfill mining, in-situ aeration, Landfill surcharging, Soil vapor extraction and air sparging, treatment of landfill leachate, etc. � 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. | |
