This document summarizes a study that used geomatics applications to identify suitable waste disposal sites in Tumakuru City, Karnataka, India. Spatial data layers like lineaments, soil, drainage networks, and surface water bodies were extracted from satellite imagery and maps. Alternative disposal sites were identified considering transportation distance, hydrological parameters, and potential environmental impacts. Four new sites were identified over the existing landfill site using remote sensing, GIS analysis, GPS surveys, and field verification. The study aimed to locate waste disposal sites that considered environmental, physical, and socioeconomic factors.

water and causes the disease like jaundice, nausea, asthma (Jean Fidèle Nzihou., 2013; Masood
Ahsan Siddiqui., 2011; Maher Arebey., 2010; Basavarajappa et al., 2012; 2013; 2014). Solid waste
management is one among the basic essential services provided by municipal authorities in the urban
areas to keep clean. However, it is among the most poorly rendered services in the basket—the
systems applied are unscientific, outdated and inefficient; population coverage is low and the poor
are marginalized. Waste is littered all over leading to insanitary living conditions. Municipal laws
governing the urban local bodies do not have adequate provisions to deal effectively with the ever
growing problem of solid waste management. With rapid urbanization, the situation is becoming
critical. The urban population has grown fivefold in the last six decades with 285.35 million people
living in urban areas as per the 2001 and 2011Census. The waste generation rates in India are lower
than the non developing countries in other parts of the world and much lower compared to
developing countries (Ahmad Al et al. 2011). However, lifestyle changes, especially in the larger
cities, leading to the use of more packaging material and per capita waste generation is increasing by
about 1.3% per year. With the urban population growing at 2.7 per cent to 3.5 per cent per annum,
the yearly increase in the overall quantity of solid waste in the cities will be more than 5 per cent.
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has estimated that waste generation will exceed 260
million tons per year by 2047—more than five times the present level. Cities with 100,000 plus
population contribute 72.5 per cent of the waste generated in the country. Tumakuru city is
developing as one of the smart cities in India which may face majorly landfill issues as Bengaluru
city, Karnataka in future. The Population census recorded in 2011 is 2,678,980 and generating
87,613 tones of solid wastes daily from every source. The existing landfill site is operating exactly in
contact between Archean Migmatitic gneisses & proterozoic granites and acting as a groundwater
contamination zone. (Jayananda et al., 1999; Vaidyanathan and Ramakrishnana 1998, Basavarajappa
et al., 2014) (fig. 2 & 9).

4. LITHOLOGY
Tumakuru district exposes mainly rock types belonging to the Peninsular Gneissic complex
(PGC), schistose rocks of Sargur group and Dharwar super group, younger intrusives (Closepet
Granite and basic dykes) and thin patches of quaternary gravels. The high grade schists of Sargur
group occur as continuous bands, small enclaves within the PGC and comprise amphibolites,
ultramafics and banded ferruginous chert. The younger intrusives include Closepet granite and basic
dykes. Thin patches of Quaternary gravel horizons are located towards northern parts of the study
area. There are three prominent lineaments are noticed to be trending towards in ENE-WSW, NW-
SE and N-S directions in the study area. The alluvial patches are generally seen along the major
streams as narrow discontinuous patches particularly in granite.
Lithologically, the study area represents two types of rock namely Migmatites, Granitic
gneiss and Granite (Closepet). The younger granites; which are coarse-grained and porphyritic,
constitute a well-defined narrow range of Devrayanadurga hills, which run north-south in the eastern
portion of the study area. Which are represented in fig. 2 and their statistics in the table 1.

5. GEOMORPHOLOGY
Geomorphologically, a major part of the study area is covered with the denudational uplands
on gneisses & granites which are ideal for agriculture, industrialization and urban settlements.
Besides there are structural ridges of the schistose rocks are suitable for mining of manganese,
dolomite and limestone deposits. The denudational hills of granite in the NE part can be quarried for
building stones and road metal. The valley flats in the southern part of the district can be exploited
for agricultural purposes. To the east of Tumakuru and north of Devarayana Durga Hill (1169 m),
the region presents beautiful scenery of hill ranges intersected by cultivated valleys. A narrow range
of granitic hills grouped under Closepet granites occupies the eastern part. Morphologically
Tumakuru city is located in plain landform; exhibiting undulations as residual hill and pediment
zones which is shown in the figure no.3.
Fig.3. Geomorphology of the study area
6. SOILS
Mapping of soil in vegetated terrain and deriving information of soil types from satellite
imagery is one of the advantages of Remote Sensing. Clay soil is one of the best sites for landfill
siting for the prevention of leachate problems (Basavarajappa et al., 2013). Clay pits are more
suitable for depression type landfills whereas sand gravel pits should be avoided according to
permeability, except when the bottom formations are impermeable (Azadhe and Basavarajappa.,
2009). A major part of the study area is covered with fine red soil in the western part and Clayey
skeletal, Coarse red loamy soil along the eastern part (Fig.4). Red sandy soils are suitable for the

growth of ragi, jowar, millets and oil seeds under rainfed conditions. The irrigated areas of red loamy
soils are favorable for paddy, sugarcane and vegetables.
Fig.4. Soil map of the study area
7. DRAINAGE AND SURFACE WATER BODIES
The natural drainage system in the city mainly exhibits sub parallel drainage pattern along
with eighteen surface water bodies, among eighteen tanks three tanks are bigger in size, twelve tanks
are moderate in their size remaining three tanks are very small in size as shown in the fig. 5. Water
bodies like tanks, ponds, streams, lakes and river are identified and digitized (fig. 5). A landfill sites
should be kept 100m away from drainage channels (Lunkapis et al., 2010; Agnes 1997; Despotakis
and Economopoulos, 2007). Deep groundwater table (at least 50m) region is suitable to avoid
contact between leachate and water. Groundwater levels, distribution of aquifers, aquicludes,
groundwater flow patterns, size and discharge of streams are controlled by topography of the site.

8. LINEAMENTS
Faults are geological structures that cause limitation for siting a landfill (Gemitzi et al, 2007).
The landfill site should be kept away at least about 100-200 m from any faults, fissures, joints,
stream/ lakes and other shear zones to avoid environmental damages of any area (Basavarajappa et
al., 2013). Lineaments (Fig.6) are extracted from the satellite image using the software Geomatica
(version) and demarcated the major lineaments by visual interpretation of satellite image. New
landfill sites are proposed away from the major lineaments, which avoids groundwater contamination
from the toxic effluents in waste disposals during heavy rainfall. The lineament overlay map (Fig.7)
shows the poorly vegetated barren lands towards the southern parts helps in accessing the suitable
landfill sites in the study area.

10. REQUIRED DUSTBINS IN THE CITY
The proposed dust bin location map (fig.8 and table 3 ) and is given by considering the
factors like; proximity to surface water, distance from transportation routes, distance from
environmentally sensitive or protected areas, slope aspects, morphology, landforms, soil type, land
use/land cover, lineaments which are important on groundwater prospecting of the study area. Maps
like distance from drainage, major roads, streams and their suitability are given in the figure 8
and table 2, 3, respectively. After projection and topology creation all feature classes
like geomorphology, soil, lithology, drainage, stream and road are converted to raster files
and separate datasets are created using weightage and rank. For the analysis all the raster datasets for
different layers having different score are over layered and the scores of each composite class
are added using raster calculator tool of spatial analyst extension of Arc Map. The final scores
are reclassified to generate the output map showing various classes of suitable site for
waste dumping.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Integration of different thematic layers like, Lithology, Geomorphology, Soil, Drainage,
Lineament and the administrative boundary of Tumakuru city helps in assessment of best suitable
locations for waste disposal site considering the environmental issues. The newly proposed landfill
sites are interpreted to keep effluents and toxic wastes away from groundwater through Drainage,
Tanks, Soil types, Lineaments (Fig.9 and Table 4). The Google Earth Image (2015) helps in
observation that the development of built up area in this study (fig.1). Considering the Geomatics
study and integration of all thematic layers, southern part of the study area offers 4 suitable sites for
landfill sites due to less built up availability (Basavarajappa et al., 2013). Landfill sites must be
avoided in the northern part due to existing landfill site in the (Ajjagondanahlli area) which is
Tumakuru

operating near to one of the major lineament and contact zone between gneisses (PGC) and granite,
later being contaminating the groundwater sources (fig. 2 & 9).
If the Corporation administration is continuing the solid waste dumping unscientifically in
the same area of Ajjagondanahalli openly instead of separating the city waste properly like (green
waste, plastics, papers and construction solid waste) and recycle the city solid waste into proper
scientific methods (Basavarajappa et al.,2012 & 2013) will leads to environmental pollution and
public issues.

In supporting to this the author tried to locate another location for the better
assessment and to maintain the environmental issue author suggested the new locations for dustbin
by considering the existing location of the dustbin location (Fig.8).

CONCLUSION
Satellite Remote Sensing images can provide information about the wastelands and other
associated features which help in selection of suitable landfill sites. Coupled with GIS, RS can
provide an opportunity to integrate field parameters with population and other relevant data. By
analyzing lithology, geomorphology, drainage, lineament and soil types provide a baseline
information in solid waste management even for future programmes. The number of existing dust

bins availability is not sufficient to fulfill the complete waste collections in the study area. The
authors proposed new dustbin locations in equal distribution for waste collections and its separation.
The main advantages of newly proposed landfill sites encounters vast stretch of wastelands, low
amount of rock permeability & porosity, negligible inhabitants and fully developed transportation
network. Thus with the use of these advanced technologies; management of municipal wastes will no
longer be a problematic issue for concerned peoples. It provides a comprehensive model framework
whereby CMC authorities are required to develop detailed Waste Management Plans and
environmental assessment in the study area. The study attempts to determine sites that are
appropriate for landfill siting in Tumakuru city Karnataka. The combination of Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) and a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method is best suited
methods for the determination of the relative importance weights of factors (criteria) in the solid
waste management. The final integrated map generated reveals 4 suitable sites for landfill in the
southern part of the study area, avoiding the nearby villages, geological structures and hydrological
parameters to fulfill the complete wastes collection from every sources. Separation and suitable
landfill sites for waste management is indeed problems in developing cities like Tumakuru city in
Karnataka State. The results showed the efficacy of GIS and multi-criteria decision making method
in decision making using Geomatic techniques.
