Management and sustainability issues relating to the phytoremediation of landfill leachate

Land-based systems for the remediation of landfill leachate have the potential to provide a low-cost, low-tech alternative for dealing with the consequences of the long-term generation of polluted water from a body of municipal solid waste. However, assessing the sustainability of these systems is h...
