Determine the classification of a landfill that yields evaporation records of 2 200 mm per year and rainfall of 600 mm per year. The site receives only general waste from a rural community and the estimated current disposal rate is 0.80 Tons per day. The site life is expected to be 7 years.

The landfills are being classified into two parts which are class A and class B. It is being divided on the basis of the environment protection and minimum requirements for each class depending upon the design and the operational characteristics of landfill. Class A landfill is a better quality landfill in which the the water amount should not be very high in the landfill. As per the given example we can clearly observe that the evaporation rate is more than the rainfall rate and hence water will not be stored in the landfill and just because of that the quality will be good along with a better life span of 7 years. If the life of any landfill exceeds 5 years then it would be termed as good class fill and hence the given example of landfill will be classified in the Class A. There is no problem in the disposal rate also as it is adequate and not a problem for the cause as Class A landfills would be able to dispose high amount of waste usually from the urban areas and since this is being working as a good quality landfill it would be considered under the Class A.

In a given year, a catchment with an area of 200 km2 received 1300 mm of rainfall. The average evaporative energy flux due to evapotranspiration was 45 Watts/m2. Assuming negligible change in soil and groundwater storage, and also negligible interception. Estimate the average rate for that year, for the river draining the catchment (in both mm/year and m3/s).
