With extensive barriers of filled landfill sections, we achieve at the location Ihlenberg the effect, that precipitation, rain and snow, cannot penetrate the landfill body. The so-called infiltration can be avoided. The precipitation drains off the intermediate cover and is being collected as surface water in arranged rainwater retention basins. After a safety sampling the precipitation water is being handed over to the natural receiving stream. This way, the amount of leak water is significantly reduced. Thus the storage volume and the capacity of the cleaning equipment can be minimised.
