Landfill site selection using GIS, remote sensing and multicriteria decision analysis: case of the city of Mohammedia, Morocco
Abstract In Morocco, as in most developing countries, landfill is still the only solution for the disposal of municipal solid waste. Choosing the appropriate site for waste elimination is a very complex process that depends on several criteria and regulations. To this end, many environmental, social and economic requirements have to be met. For the city of Mohammedia, which is the subject of this study, the choice of the landfill site was performed using multi-criteria decision analysis (MDA), a geographic information system (GIS), and remote sensing. Several criteria were discussed, such as waste production, distance from houses, surface and ground water, land use, slope of land, transport network, etc. A final map was produced by overlaying the criteria map layers, which enabled us to propose three potential sites for the establishment of the landfill. Our study also showed the need to rehabilitate the current landfill site, which represents a major nuisance in terms of air, water and soil pollution, and affects the health of city residents.
