The process details designs of a modern landfill for household waste.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The process details a modern landfill designed for the storage of household waste. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that it is a largely man-made process taking place in the natural environment that involves drainage and disposal of various liquids and gases as well as basic storage of the waste itself.
The landfill is a rectangular hole cut into a large piece of natural rock. To finish the construction, there are synthetic pipes and a clay layer placed against the rock as well as drainage pipes and a drainage tank at the bottom of the landfill.
When in use, the household waste is stored in the main compartment and liquid waste is held in the tank. The landfill is then closed and paved over with a single clay layer with the synthetic pipes still in place that can transport gases in or out of the storage area.
