Abstrakt: Reports on the development of a three-dimensional dynamic simulation program for the prediction of leachate flows, their organic contamination and the gas generated in municipal waste landfills. It permits the simulation of canyon landfills in which the surface area changes throughout the landfill's history and of complex drainage systems. The so-called hydrologic module calculates, based on the saturated flow equations, the water flow between cells and the overall moisture balance. Its results allow the so-called contamination module to carry out the balance of organic material. This paper presents the development of the hydrologic module.
