leachate discharge

In addition, the effects of leachate discharges on the benthic macroinvertebrate community were determined.

Paradoxically, the leachate discharge to the receiving water body reduced the toxic potential of that water to the organisms tested.

Designed and implemented water and aquatic biota monitoring programme for two landfills with potentially significant leachate discharges.

According to the Council City Design Report the leachate discharge is not a huge problem and the tree planting will only have a small benefit, if any.

Benthic macroinvertebrate sampling revealed that the leachate discharge had a localized impact on community structure near the outfall, but by 50 m downstream, the conditions were approaching those upstream of the discharge point.
