I'm trying to put together some estimates of infiltration to a closed landfill with different scenarios of cap design (for a legal case)
I'm after some typical values for how hydraulic conductivity of a clay cap, and of a simple geomembrane would vary as they degrade over time. I need to compare the performance of a simple clay cap which is allowed to degrade, and a multi-layer system that is well maintained.
I've searched high and low but can't find any good references on landfill cap performance with the right information. Surely someone out there has done some research on this?
I do not have access the the HELP3 program, which would be very useful. Any pointers towards useful references/papers/organisations/databases would be gratefully received
Many thanks

All models are wrong.
