The polluted water at the bottom of a landfill is called leachate. It is formed when rainwater or other liquids percolate through the waste materials, dissolving various chemicals and contaminants in the process. Leachate can be toxic and poses environmental risks if not properly managed. Landfills typically have systems in place to collect and treat leachate to prevent it from contaminating surrounding soil and groundwater.
What else can I help you with?
What are the environmental impacts of depositing waste from a water treatment facility in a landfill?
The groundwater near the landfill would become polluted by the wastes, unless the landfill site was carefully designed and built to prevent pollution of groundwater resources.
What is the slurry of material that seeps to the bottom of a landfill called?
The term for the liquid at the bottom of a landfill is "leachate". It consists of anything soluble in water or any solvents in the waste. Leachate is very nasty stuff and the goal of landfill design is ways to minimize the entry of water to reduce leachate generation. It is typically acidic and contains metals in solution, along with organics of all types.
What is water that is polluted called?
it is called acid rain
How do landfill sites affect water systems?
Landfills can leak pollution into reservoirs, rivers, underground rivers, or lakes. The polluted water sources can be used as water supplies for towns or cities nearby.
What is an animal that can live in polluted water called?
well adaptable
Are shrimp polluted?
well if the shrimp are cuaght in polluted water then they are polluted but if there are caught in fresh water then theyt are not polluted
What danger to animals can be caused by landfill sites?
Then rubbish can float in the sea damaging sea life, forests are sometimes chops down to make way for the landfill. The air can also be polluted around the area. This drives out more creatures.
Why do landfills put a layer of clay at the bottom and top of the landfill?
A layer of clay at the bottom of landfills is used to create a barrier to prevent leachate (contaminated water) from leaking into the surrounding soil and groundwater. A layer at the top helps to prevent external water from entering the landfill, which can reduce the generation of leachate. Overall, these clay layers help to protect the environment from the potential pollution that can result from landfill waste.
What is difference between polluted water and contaminated water?
polluted water is more dangerous for use and contaminated water is poisiones then polluted
Is water pollution deep in the water?
I think it is because most things that water is polluted by are more dense so they would sink to the bottom. Hope this helps
Polluted water that trickles down through buried wastes is called?
Groundwater
How does one know if the water is polluted?
One will know if the water is polluted by putting a water reader in the body of liquid. This water reader will determine if the water is polluted or not.
