Abstract

Solid waste dumping is a hectic problem in urban and developing areas due to shortage of land for the purpose. The main objective of this study was to select potential areas for suitable solid waste dumping for our city. GIS, RS (remote sensing) are powerful tools which can effectively be applied during the planning phase of solid waste management in order to avoid adverse catastrophes in future. We are making an app in which the user will give us the location and a Geo-tagged photo of the garbage around him. When we get the location and the photos, we will analyze the dump size and group the dump size. The images are show in dashboard with the help of colors like most dumped was showed by red color, moderate by blue color, less dumped by green color. We will not directly forward the request to Nagar palika. First we will ensure that the request is not fake. To ensure that Nagar palika does not get the fake news, we will pass that problem to higher authorities or Nagar Palika, when we get 20 to 30 request from the same location. After that the suitable actions will take by the authorities.
