AB  - Integrated Landfill Sites for Kaduna, Yola and Maiduguri were investigated for potential contamination of the underlying aquifers by modeling the leachate effluent discharges over years using the analytical solution of the mass balance equation. Results indicated a significant threat to underlying aquifer and a high degree of pollution of the community borehole water supply. The study recommends provision of protective membrane on the walls of the landfill sites and development of leachate management scheme.
