Putrescible waste placed in [[Landfill]] undergoes decomposition resulting in a liquid known as Leachate. Leachate arises from water entering the waste matter, generally from rainfall on open areas of waste. Leachate is any liquid that, in the course of passing through waste matter, extracts soluble or suspended solids, or any other component of the material through which it has passed. [[Landfill]] leachate is strongly polluting in the external environment; one of the principal reasons for constructing [[Landfill]] is to prevent [[Landfill]] leachate from escaping from the waste mass in an uncontrolled manner. Escape of Leachate into the underlying groundwater is a key factor in assessing the location of a [[Landfill]] and the engineering containment systems.
