Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Municipal solid waste Management | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Waste management is the most pressing environmental problem for cities and municipalities in developing nations. As a result of the varied climate, terrain, and geography of mountainous areas, relatively few research have been conducted and there is little data available. This research was carried out in the western Himalayan region of Kashmir in the cities of Baramulla, Kupwara, and Bandipora. Underdeveloped waste management and unscientific trash disposal near rivers, streams, and lakes raises the risk of ground and surface water pollution. An array of crops' development and yields may benefit from composted municipal solid waste (MSW) being incorporated into the soil, and the land's ecological and economic functions can be restored. When it comes to food crops, MSW has showed potential as a fertiliser for many different types of crops. Plant systems have responded in a variety of ways, with yields increasing anywhere from 0 to over 200.
