 * Probably the main reason that leachate enrichment was highest near the bottom of the aquifer beneath the landfill is that the heavier, leachate-rich water sinks by gravity as it moves out of the refuse, and not because it is displaced downward by freshwater from the surface.
 * 1) * 1994, James M. Brannon, Tommy E. Myers, Barbara A. Tardy, Leachate Testing and Evaluation for Freshwater Sediments,, Miscellaneous Paper D-94-1, page 23,
 * Two aspects of leachate generation from CDFs[confined disposal facilities] are of particular concern, leachate contaminant concentrations and leachate flow.
 * 1) * 1999, George Mulamoottil, Edward A. McBean, Frank Rovers (editors), Constructed Wetlands for the Treatment of Landfill Leachates, (Lewis Publishers), page xiv,
 * However, the development of this technology using constructed wetlands to treat landfill leachates has to be supplemented by investigations on the breakdown and pathways of the contaminants.
