it is in easy terms polluted water
By using a liner to keep leachate in place.
The Environment Agency has information on treatment for leachate on their website. On their website you can find out how to make an environmental permitting application for leachate treatment activities and see the guidance available.
Yes, leachate can have harmful effects on nature. When it is released into the environment, leachate can contaminate soil, surface water, and groundwater with pollutants, such as heavy metals and harmful chemicals, posing risks to ecosystems and wildlife. Proper management and control of leachate are essential to minimize its impact on nature.
leachate comes from landfills; it leaks from landfills and pollutes waters and i think it is very bad so dont let landfills pollute any more because leachate is bad for us.
Yes, contaminated leachate can seep from the bottom of landfills if the liner system is compromised or if the leachate collection system fails. This can lead to groundwater pollution and environmental damage if not properly managed.

Leachate could run off into streams or lakes, or could trickle down into the groundwater below the dump.
Leachate could run off into streams or lakes, or could trickle down into the groundwater below the dump.
Leachate is caused by water percolating through waste materials in landfills, picking up contaminants and pollutants along the way. This liquid can contain a variety of harmful substances, including heavy metals, organic compounds, and pathogens. Improper landfill design or maintenance can lead to the production of leachate.
In general, landfill leachate does not serve a meaningful purpose and is more of a hindrance than anything else. It can be possible to extract clean water from it however.
