The current urban waste generation from several countries in Asia is increasing along with the rapid growth of population and industrialization (Visvanathan et al., 2004). Most Asian countries are facing the accelerated problems of inadequate MSW collection, transportation and disposal sites. This eventually create burden to the environment, especially open dumping is the most common MSW disposal in developing countries. In Thailand and India, for example, 70-90% of final disposal sites are open dumps (Visvanathan et al., 2003). Conventional landfills are popular because it is economical and convenient method of solid waste disposal. Generally, it is referred as the “dry-tomb method”.
Open dumping is a prevalent municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal in most Asian countries. Upgrading of existing dumpsites into an engineered landfill is an important step to minimize pollutant emission to the environment. However, middle and low income countries are still suffering of lack of financial resources and technical facilities to adapt modern disposal system (e.g. sanitary landfilling). This study aims to investigate the open cell landfill operation with water management under the influence of actual tropical climate condition. Four lysimeters were investigated under different operations (OC-1: open cell, OC-2: open cell with leachate recirculation, OC-3: open cell of pre-sorted waste with leachate recirculation, and CLF: conventional landfill). The influences of leachate recirculation on open cell lysimeters (OC-2 and OC-3) were monitored in terms of leachate generation, leachate characteristics, and settlement variation for 1 year period (July 2005-July 2006).

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich

Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
