Abstract

Municipal solid waste in Indonesia is commonly disposed in a landfill with leachate treatment facility before the effluent is discharged to river. Sarimukti landfill is located 5 km to the southeast of Cirata Reservoir, covers around 21.2 ha area and accepts municipal solid wastes from cities of Bandung, Cimahi and West Bandung. Cirata Reservoir is one of the cascade reservoirs along Citarum River and the sustainability of Citarum River is important since it is utilised for electricity, water supply, irrigation and also fishery activity for many cities along its catchment area.
