A decision support system (Landfill Advisor or LFAdvisor) was developed to integrate current knowledge of barrier systems into a computer application to assist in landfill design. The program was developed in Visual Basic and includes an integrated database to store information. LFAdvisor presents the choices available for each liner component (e.g. leachate collection system, geomembrane liner, clay liners) and provides advice on their suitability for different situations related to municipal solid waste landfills (e.g. final cover, base liner, lagoon liner). Unique to LFAdvisor, the service life of each engineered component is estimated based on results from the latest research. LFAdvisor considers the interactions between liner components, operating conditions, and the existing site environment. LFAdvisor can be used in the initial stage of design to give designers a good idea of what liner components will likely be required, while alerting them to issues that are likely to arise. A systems approach is taken to landfill design with the ultimate goal of maximising long-term performance and service life.
开发了一个决策支持系统（垃圾填埋场顾问或 LFAdvisor），将屏障系统的现有知识集成到计算机应用程序中，以协助进行垃圾填埋场设计。该程序是用 Visual Basic 开发的，包括一个用于存储信息的集成数据库。LFAdvisor 为每个衬层组件（例如渗滤液收集系统、土工膜衬层、粘土衬层）提供可用的选择，并就其在与城市固体废物填埋场相关的不同情况下的适用性提供建议（例如最终覆盖层、基础衬层、泻湖衬层）。LFAdvisor 的独特之处在于，根据最新研究的结果估计每个工程组件的使用寿命。LFAdvisor 考虑了衬层组件之间的相互作用、操作条件和现有场地环境。LFAdvisor 可以在设计的初始阶段使用，让设计人员大致了解可能需要哪些衬层组件，并提醒他们可能出现的问题。采用系统方法进行垃圾填埋场设计，最终目标是最大限度地提高长期性能和使用寿命。
