Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) describes the stream of solid waste generated by households, commercial establishments, industries and institutions.Improper disposal of MSW has serious repercussions for the environment and human health.One of the serious problems is ground water contamination.Asian countries are facing municipal solid waste management problems due to the rapid growth in solid waste generation rate and open dumping practices.As water percolates through MSW, it makes leachate that consists of decomposing organic matter combined with iron, mercury, lead, zinc and other metal, which is the cause for the Groundwater contamination in the nearby areas of the dumpsite.So there is a need for Groundwater analysis around the dumpsite to know to what extent Groundwater has been contaminated.
