Description:
The report describes a study conducted to verify the Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) computer model using existing field data from a total of 20 landfill cells at 7 sites in the United States. Simulations using the HELP model were run to compare the predicted water balance with the measured water balance. Comparisons were made for runoff, evapotranspiration, lateral drainage to collection systems and percolation through liners. The report also presents a sensitivity analysis of the HELP model input parameters.
