This video is about appropriate landfill site selection using GIS based method weighted overlay. Solid Waste, is increasing day by day because the world is hurtling towards an urban future. Globally the solid waste generation rates passed 0.75 kilo grams per person per day. Appropriate land fill site selection is important because the opposite would have several negative consequences. Unsuitable landfill can lead to water, soil, and air pollution, which, in turn, can lead to public health hazards. So, this process requires thorough review and assessment process, taking environmental, ecological, economic and legislative aspects into consideration.

Many scholars use criteria such as slope, elevation, distance from roads, railways, water bodies such as rivers and lakes, airfields, future land values, proximate ground water depth, soil type, land use land cover and many more.
