Comparative Assessment of Kurukshetra City Waste Dumping Sites Using RIAM Analysis: A Case Study
Kurukshetra, a historical city in India, is dealing with major environmental issues regarding the final disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW). The waste of urban localities is directly dumped in the landfills situated in nearby villages. The selection of a new disposal site and technique also requires much attention. Environmental impact assessment or EIA is needed for establishing such waste management facilities for the city waste. The whole procedure of EIA is time-consuming, but it is urgent to consider all the different components affecting the environment. Rapid impact assessment matrix (RIAM) is a proven method to investigate and evaluate the physical, ecological, economic, and social-cultural impacts due to the developmental projects. The same tool is applied for the assessment of two different MSW landfill sites. Both of the disposal sites are on different stages of operations. Thus, analysis based on RIAM is used to find out the concerned areas which are affected due to dumping operations on these locations.
