Research Abstract

An establishment of spatial survey method for support of landfill management is needed. In this study, we used the electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method for estimation of landfill underground condition. In addition, physicochemical properties of wastes were measured for estimation of resistivity values. We demonstrated that ERT could visualize the final cover soil layer and waste dumped layer, and that an electrical conductivity and porosity of waste contributed to resistivity values, Furthermore, ERT was usable method for visualize of dumped waste at an illegal dumping site.
