A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 ha at an average depth of 10 m. Seven hundred sixty-five (765) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site five days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Estimate the expected life of the landfill in years. (5 points)

16.3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ha = 10,000 m^2

The total capacity of the landfill is:

If waste is compacted to twice its delivered density, its volume is half of the delivered volume. Assuming that a year has 52 weeks, the volume of compacted solid waste dumped per year is:

The expected life of the landfill is given by its capacity divided by the yearly volume:

The landfill has an expected life of 16.3 years.

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
