Evapotranspiration Covers for Landfills and Waste Sites

As technology and production escalate, the scourge of landfill waste increasingly threatens the environment. This book examines the evapotranspiration (ET) landfill cover, a new and innovative remedy for landfill waste. Offering a solution to conventional landfill, which utilize barriers to the natural flow of water and is therefore expensive and prone to failure, the ET landfill cover uses no barriers and works with the forces of nature rather than attempting to control them. The book describes the concept, technology, design, construction, and maintenance of the ET cover, and explains why it is a cost-effective, practical, easily maintained, and self-renewing biological system, which will maintain its effectiveness for centuries.
