Executive Summary

Waste generation increases with population expansion and economic development. Improperly
managed solid waste poses a risk to human health and the environment. Uncontrolled dumping
and improper waste handling causes a variety of problems, including contaminating water,
attracting insects and rodents, and increasing flooding due to blocked drainage canals or gullies.
In addition, it may result in safety hazards from fires or explosions. Improper waste management
also increases greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which contribute to climate change. Planning
for and implementing a comprehensive program for waste collection, transport, and disposal
along with activities to prevent or recycle waste can eliminate these problems.

1. Pre-set criteria's

Data Criteria for dumpsite analysis

To reduce expenses for transportation, the dumpsite should be placed less than 1200
Roads meters away from an existing road

In order to avoid hazardous emissions from the waste, the dumpsite must be placed at
River least 1500 meters away from nearby rivers

For the reason of safe hygiene, the dumpsite should be positioned at least 1200 meters
Residentials away from all houses

To avoid hazardous wastewater poisoning nearby areas, the dumpsite must be placed
Elevation on slopes with less than 3 % inclination

SuitabilityAnalysis
Pre-set criteria's

 You will begin by studying the available data.

 You will then produce a number of raster layers for accepted and rejected areas on the
basis of the criteria listed above.
 You shall then overlay the raster.
 layers to be able to locate all the possible areas for the new dumpsite, taking in
consideration all the criteria.

2. Procedures In Arc Map

. Start ArcMap

ii. Check the coordinate in similar GC system(projected system)

iii. Set the data frame into unit of meter or km

Examine the data by looking in the “Layer Properties” (right click at the different layers in the
“Table of contents” and select “properties” from the dropdown list which appears).

To change the colors for the Elevation layer, right click on “Elevation” in the Table of
Contents to the left of the screen and choose “Properties” from the dropdown list. Then choose
the “Symbology” tab.

3. Data for dump site selection

 Residential area: A polygon layer showing buildings in the area
 Main roads: A polyline layer showing the roads in the area
 Watercourse: A raster layer showing the streams and rivers in the area
 Elevation: A raster layer consisting of data for the topography in the area
The first criteria was to locate all areas at least 2500 meters away from any settlements.
 Areas nearer the settlements will be given the value of “0” (rejected) and values further
away “1” (accepted).

 Creating a buffer zone solves this criteria.

 Go to the drop-down menu in the “Spatial Analyst” toolbar. Choose “Distance
>Euclidean distance...”.
 Change the settings in the Straight Line dialog so that they match the graphic to the right,
and then click OK.
 We choose not to define any maximum distance since we want the whole area to be
covered.

4. Procedures In Arc Map

4.1 Open the Arc Map and Set properties of data frame as mentioned above

4.2 Import the data necessary for performing the task from D:\GIS\GIS-
WSSP\Suitability Analysis\Data

4.3 Create a model under the Tool box name “Suitability DS”

4.4 Activate the Arc Toolbox tree and Right click on main Arc Toolbox and
create a new Arc Toolbox Create as indicated below

4.5 By right clicking on the Suitability Analysis Arc Toolbox create a new model
and a new model building window will appear as indicated

4.9 Create Buffer all around the features based on the pre set criteria Hold and
drag buffer from Analyst Tools Proximity Buffer into the model

4.10. By double clicking on Buffer into the model & set the input as follows In put
