“…Landfill is considered a common systematic and economic technique to manage the MSW (municipal solid waste) disposal in most countries, especially developing countries even though when other methods are for waste management such as recycling, reuse, burning and burial are used [1][2][3][4][5]. MSW consists of organic, commercial, industrial, institutional and construction wastes [6].…”

The landfill design is necessary to be implemented in various regions to protect public human health and the factors of environment. The suggested design of landfill was performed in the arid areas, where that Babylon Governorate, Iraq was selected as a case study. Babylon Governorate is located in the middle of Iraq. The suggested design for the selected sites for landfill in the arid areas was consisted of the base liner and final cover systems. The HELP 3.95D model was applied on both systems to check if there is any leakage by leachate from the suggested soil layers of landfill base on the water balance in Babylon Governorate for the years 2005-2016. The suggested design of final cover system was implemented based on weather parameters in the arid areas through storing water that coming from the surface within upper layers that have fine particles and over the top barrier without leakage into the waste body, thereby preventing leachate generation. This is allowing to the stored water to evaporate from the surface of soil or transpire through vegetation due to the high temperature during the most months in the study area. The results showed there was no percolation of leachate through the base liner system. The design of final cover system was acted to reduce the runoff on the surface and increase the actual evaporation.

“…Landfill sites are considered necessary to manage waste, even if other techniques of waste management are adopted. In countries that burn their waste, a suitable landfill site to dispose of the resulting ashes from burning is still required [3] [4]. The process of landfill siting is subject to several factors, including public health concerns, growing environmental awareness, government regulation, government and municipal funding, increasing political and social opposition to the establishment of landfill sites, and reduced land availability for landfills.…”

Selecting a landfill site is an optimal solution for the disposal of solid waste in Al-Mahawil Qadhaa, both to fulfill the environmental and scientific requirements, and to comply with regulations and restrictions in this Qadhaa. Presently, there is no landfill site in the area that meets the scientific site selection criteria. Therefore, in this study, two methods of multi-criteria decision-making and Geographic Information System (GIS) were used to produce a map of candidate sites for landfill. Fifteen criteria were entered within GIS: groundwater depth, rivers, soil types; agriculture lands use, land use, elevation, slope, gas pipelines, oil pipelines, power lines, roads, railways, urban centers, villages and archaeological sites. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is the first method that was applied to derive criteria weightings using the matrix of pairwise comparisons. The second method was the Ratio Scale Weighting (RSW), which is based on experts' opinion, in order to identify the criteria weightings by giving a ratio score value for each criterion relative to the other criteria. Accuracy assessment (Kappa and Overall Assessment) methods were used to compare the two raster maps which resulted from the two models, and to determine the percentage value of matching pixels for the two maps. Two suitable candidate sites for landfill were identified that satisfy the requirements with an area of 2.218 km 2 -2.950 km 2 in order to accommodate the solid waste generated from the Qadhaa in the period 2020 to 2030.

“…In developed countries, there are many processes to achieve a proper management for solid waste such as recycling, minimizing the waste, recovery of energy, reuse, and landfill [2]. Even if other techniques of waste management are used, a landfill site is considered very necessary to a solid waste management system to accommodate unused materials or the remains parts of waste that burn, because landfill is simple to use and relatively inexpensive [3] [4] [5]. Therefore, many previous studies were interested with the most details of landfill management within the last two decades, especially selecting an appropriate site for landfill [6] [7].…”

The selecting of a site for landfill is considered as a difficult process because many criteria should be involved. The main aim of establishing a landfill is to protect the human and environment. Al-Qasim district is considered as the study area in this work. It is one of the main districts in Babylon Governorate, Iraq. There is no systematic site as landfill that fulfil the environmental and scientific criteria in this area. Therefore, the most important fifteen criteria that suited the environmental requirements were selected in the current study. These criteria are: groundwater depth, urban centers, rivers, villages, soil types, elevation, roads agricultural land use, slope, land use, archaeological sites, power lines, gas pipelines, oil pipelines and railways. Two methods of multi criteria decision making AHP (analytical hierarchy process) and SRS (straight rank sum) were applied to obtain the weights of criteria in dissimilar styles. The raster maps of the selected criteria were prepared and analyzed within the GIS software. Then, the change detection method was implemented to compare the two output raster maps resulted from AHP and SRS methods. Two appropriate candidate sites for landfill were selected to accommodate the cumulative solid waste until the year 2030 in Qasim district. The areas of these sites were 2.766 km 2 and 2.055 km 2 respectively.
