Hai,
Iam trying to estimate leachate colllection in a cement manufacturing facility.
A leachate collection trench passes through 3 cells (one below the other) and finally gets into a contact water basin.
As per RCRA rules the collection of leachate from these 3 cells over a period of 7 days, should not exceed 30 cm. Leachate willl be collected from different areas of the facilty and goes into the contact water basin. How can i find out as how much leachate was collected from these 3 cells.
I have the contour levels for the 3 cells and contact water basin.How can i estimate the slope the slope of each cell?
iam totally ignorant of leachate colection systems.

Please suggest me a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
aakanksha
