Abstract

Municipal solid waste is a severe environmental concern in emerging countries like India because of its growing population, economic expansion and urbanization. Daily activities generate solid waste, which must be managed to reduce its harmful impact on the environment and human health. As a result, cities are facing serious pollution problems, notably due to gases generated by disposal sites. The current study attempts to locate the best landfill location in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, using remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques. Many factors are considered while selecting a suitable site, including distance from habitation, water bodies (rivers, drains, canals, and ponds), transportation, agriculture, forest, and ground water table. Geomorphology map, lithology map, soil map, transport map, Land use land cover (LULC) map, water body map, surface water body map, slope map, and ground water map are used to create a site selection for solid waste disposal. The weight overlay analysis (WOA) method is used to do a suitability analysis for waste disposal site selection. Classification of sentinel data, IRS-1C/1D (Indian Remote Sensing Satellites-1C/1D), LISS III (Linear Imaging Self-Scanning Sensor 3), SAS Planet Google data 1 meter resolution, Cartosat-1 2.5 spatial resolution, and Sentinel-2A 10 meter resolution data were used for creation of multiple thematic layers in the study for the selection of a waste disposal site. The study describes the detailed research on site suitability analysis for solid waste disposal in Lucknow city.
