Leachate generation is a biggest problem faced by municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills which causes significant hazard to surface water and groundwater. Leachate contains high concentration of pollution which can cause serious problems to the society. In this study, examining the characteristics of leachate generated from a landfill site situated in Laloor, In Thrissur, Standard methods were used to monitored, analyzed and examined the water and waste water. According to the standard methods for the Parameters were monitored included dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chlorides content, alkalinity, mpn, hardness and pH. After this study results are mapped by QGIS to confirm and show the impact of the leachate issue in laloor.
