The major potential impacts of landfill leachate on the environment are groundwater and surface water contamination.To date, the percolation of bacteria and viruses by landfill leachate into the groundwater table poses a potential ris k to public health and the environment and potential risks.This p aper deals with the study of leachate dispersion of contaminants using generalized dispersion techniques for solvent transport in p orous media.The porous layer interface, the slip boundary condit ions of the beavers joseph bj are used, the governing equations a re analytically solved and the expressions for speed and dispersio n are obtained and graphically presented
