Tests of Alternative Final Landfill Covers Using Innovative Water Balance Monitoring Systems
A text outline of a presentation by Mr. William Albright

What’s a lysimeter?

  • Concept: build a full-scale (in depth) test pad in a swimming pool or bath tub.
  • Facility has fully lined bottom and sides.
  • Sump at bottom to collect drainage.
  • Not a "suction lysimeter."
