Because of the increasing population and more waste generation, the area required for the disposal of MSW increases. Sanitary Landfill is one of the important method used for the disposal of MSW. The problem faced during new landfill sitting and availability of land is also increased simultaneously. Optimization of landfill sitting shows the prime importance at the environmental, social, and economic levels. The present work is carried out for the Solid Waste Management plant of Nashik Municipal Corporation (MH) India. As the landfill site is on the verge of the closure period, new landfill sitting identification is essential with consideration of all criteria to reduce environmental degradation and improve the standard of living of people nearby vicinity. This study aims to identify potential landfill sites for the year 2021 and the upcoming 25-year period, using a Remote Sensing (RS) - Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). Fifteen parameters were considered while selecting a potential landfill site i.e., geomorphology, hydrogeology, distance to road, drainage, lineament, slope, LULC, distance to water bodies, population density used for AHP-MCDA. Airport, water bodies, road, habitation are used for restriction buffer analysis and aspect, while the wind rose diagram used for final site suitability. The weights of the 9 parameters were obtained from a constructed AHP matrix with a consistency ratio of 0.05557.During the study restricted zones were omitted. Afterward, the threshold limit and selection criteria were used for potential site selection. The study revealed several potential landfill sites and their suitability. Furthermore, the landfill area required for upcoming years is calculated based on the projected population, and the result of the potential landfill sites map shows the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results from this work showed the effectiveness of potential landfill site suitability for Environmental Sustainability in the selection process.
Music genre classification is an important task that entails classifying music genres based on aural data. Music genre classification is widely used in the field of music information retrieval. Data preparation, feature extraction, and classification are the three primary processes in the proposed system. New neural network is used to classify music genres. To categorize songs into respective music genres, the proposed system leverages feature values from spectrograms created from slices of songs as input to a proposed system architecture. Extensive tests on the GTZAN dataset demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach in comparison to existing methods. The proposed system architecture is also tested on Indian rhythms. This paper consists of the comparison of proposed system architecture with existing algorithms.
A bioreactor landfill is a recent invention in the field of waste management. A large-scale bioreactor simulator is developed in this study. The simulator configuration, testing procedure, sampling, and measurements are presented. The study describes the effect of degradation on long settlements. The effect of leachate recirculation was assessed from the biochemical properties of leachate and biogas. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) sample was collected from the working phase of the solid waste management site in Vilholi Nasik (Maharashtra, India). Leachate collected from the same site was used for the recirculation. The degradation process in the simulator was monitored for 106 days. The total settlement was 1.2% recorded. pH, Alkalinity, and chemical oxygen demand of leachate were monitored throughout the experimental investigation and found responsible parameters for the degradation process. Biogas production potential rate of 3ℓ/day with a phase lag of 12 days was obtained from Modified Gompertz Model. The composition of biogas analyzed the presence of 74% CO2 and 24%CH4. Practitioners can use the simulator and experimental investigation data presented in this study for designing bioreactor landfills.
Environmental Engineering & Pollution control are the growing concerns of today. Rising population technological, economical and industrial revolution and changing life style has lead to various types of environmental problems, water pollution, land pollution, Air pollution, nuclear pollution, sound pollution including spiritual pollution are the aspects of pollution today. Out of which, water pollution is most concerned with civil engineering. Water treatment, supply and waste water treatment of domestics and industrial sources is very important aspect of civil engineering. Present work deals with the industrial waste water treatment. In may also Dairy industry uses 4L of water per L of milk, which cones out as a waste water, In fact, in a survey made by Environmental Protection Agency of U SA in 1950, the 2nd major cause of water pollution was dairy effluent (I) Dairy waste water is a diluted milk (1) It contains BOD, COD, total solids dissolved solids and sometimes PH and oil-grease as highly biodegradable and COD/BOD is less than 1.5
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
