Municipal and industrial trash is frequently disposed of in solid waste dumps or landfills. However, these dump sites have a substantial impact on the quality and availability of groundwater, which is essential for supporting ecosystems and providing for human requirements in terms of water. In this article, the effect of solid waste disposal yards on groundwater is examined, along with any possible repercussions. Leachate, a fluid that introduces contaminants into the groundwater, can occur as a result of poor trash compaction, inadequate liners or barriers, or incorrect management of dumping yards. Although leachate composition varies, it frequently contains toxic materials, organic contaminants, and heavy metals. Since individuals might be exposed to these toxins through irrigation and drinking water, groundwater contamination poses serious dangers to the public’s health. Ecosystems and biodiversity are also disrupted, and rehabilitation attempts may be financially costly. Proper landfill site selection, the installation of liners and leachate collecting systems, as well as routine groundwater monitoring, are essential to reducing the impact. In order to avoid the negative effects of solid waste disposal yards on groundwater resources, effective waste management practises are crucial.

A cross sectional study design was conducted from November, 2014 to April, 2015 to estimate the prevalence of poultry coccidiosis in and around Jimma town, south western Ethiopia and to assess its relationship with different risk factors. Simple random sampling technique was conducted to select birds found in and around the town. Test tube flotation technique was used for qualitative study of coccidial oocyst and descriptive statistics was utilized to summarize the data.The association be-tween the prevalence of the disease and risk factors was assessed by Chi-square. Out of the total 384 chickens examined, 156 (40.62%) were positive for coccidian parasites. The prevalence was significantly different between breed ( X 2 = 4.48, P = 0.03), management ( X 2 = 18.00, P = 0.00) and age ( X 2 = 19.04, P = 0.00). However, no statistically significant difference ( X 2 = 1.19, P = 0.28) was found in the prevalence of coccidiosis between sex. In conclusion, the present study showed that cocci-diosis was an important disease of poultry in the study area with increasing prevalence in younger birds and those kept under intensive management system and therefore, good poultry management systems such as; treating diseased poultry, maintaining cleanness of environment and applying strict biosecurity measures have to be practiced in different poultry production systems.
2014年11月至2015年4月,采用横断面研究设计估算埃塞俄比亚西南部Jimma镇及其周边地区家禽球虫病的流行情况,并评估其与不同危险因素的关系。采用简单的随机抽样方法,选择在城镇内外发现的鸟类。采用试管浮选技术对球虫卵囊进行定性研究,并用描述性统计方法对数据进行总结。疾病患病率与危险因素之间的关系采用卡方法评估。在384只鸡中,156只(40.62%)呈球虫寄生虫阳性。犬种(x2 = 4.48, P = 0.03)、管理(x2 = 18.00, P = 0.00)和年龄(x2 = 19.04, P = 0.00)之间的患病率差异有统计学意义。但两性间球虫病患病率差异无统计学意义(x2 = 1.19, P = 0.28)。综上所述,球虫病是研究区家禽的一种重要疾病,在幼禽和集约化饲养的家禽中发病率呈上升趋势,因此,良好的家禽管理制度,如;在不同的家禽生产系统中,必须实施病禽治疗、保持环境清洁和严格的生物安全措施。
