(A): Estimate the approximate amount of domestic solid waste to be generated in the coming10-years (2019-2028) for future planning for solid waste management and land in a tourist country. The domestic population for the year 2018 was 786,804 people (waste generation rate is 0.42 kg/capita. day) with 2.7% growth rate every year. Around 1,485,000 individuals visit the place annually (waste generation rate is 0.23 kg/capita. Day). Hint: Population for each year = Pi = Po (1+ r)^n 

(b) Calculate the required landfill volume by adopting a value of 12% daily cover for the disposal of above calculated domestic solid waste in a safety way without any environment risks. (Density for compacting waste at landfill = 0.56 t/m^3 ).
