Feasibility study of applying GPR to leakage prediction of urban landfill

Abstract The urban waste pollution caused by the rapid industrialization development has become increasingly serious. The main way of dealing with municipal waste in China is still landfill, which is convenient, but often lead to the waste leakage because of the immature anti-seepage system. Therefore, how to quickly investigate the landfill leakage to take necessary remedial measures for the subsequent leakage has become a hot issue. This study discusses the feasibility of GPR in urban landfill leakage prediction by discussing the GPR response of two types of landfill leakage models. The synthetic model experiment shows that GPR can effectively identify the anomalies caused by pollutant leakage in the landfill.
