Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]this study evaluates the use of landfill leachate as a potential source of water for irrigation purposes in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. [...]of negative charge developed by the soil particles, ions are absorbed on the soil lattice (Li et al., 2010). [...]there was a positive correlation between leachate concentration and increasing soil pH. [...]the high concentration of ions in the soil leachate increases the EC of the soil.
