ABSTRACT

The prediction of municipal solid waste generation plays a vital role in solid waste

management. Achieving the anticipated prediction accuracy with regard to the

generation trends is facing many challenges, in addition to population growth and

urbanization of the rural areas of the district. A proper method of solid wastes

generation (SWG) rate required for solid waste management (either for a short-term

or a long-term say for five years or a long-term period of say twenty years) for any

town or city is not readily available. Hence short-term planning, SWG rates forecast

using statistical model has been proposed in this study considering the population and

solid wastes data of case study area of Salem City Municipal corporation of Tamil

Nadu.

Key words: environment, municipal solid waste, population growth, SWG rates,

urbanization.

1. INTRODUCTION

Urbanization continues to make solid waste management a significant public health and

environmental concern in urban areas of many developing states in India. In most of the

developing nations, there is a lack of both human and financial resources, which results in

poor planning of solid waste management and operation. The lack of research and

development activities in developing states that lead to an improper selection of technology

concerning the physical and climatic conditions. In general, the solid waste management is

given low priority due to inadequate funding from the recognised authority.

The study area Salem city municipal corporation is located southwest of the state capital,

Chennai, in 110N 78.16°E at an average elevation of 278 m (912 ft). Salem is the sixth largest

city in Tamil Nadu by population, and it has a population of 8,26,267 as per 2011 census. The

solid waste generated per day is 400tonnes approximately. The study area has an extent of

91.34 sq km which has been divided into four zones namely Ammapet (zone 1) Hasthampatty

(zone 2) Suramangalam (zone 3) and Kondalampatty (zone 4) in which it has 60 divisions or

wards.

2. DATA OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN SALEM CITY

A detailed field survey was conducted on solid waste management in Salem Municipal

Corporation to assesses the quality and quantity from (2011 -12 to 2015 – 16) and has been

collected and used in this study and are given in table 1.

The total population of the city is obtained by interpolation method of using census data

of the town for the year 2001 and 2011. The solid wastes for the city and zone wise are

obtained from SCMC.

4. FORECAST OF SOLID WASTE GENERATION FROM 2016 TO 2021

USING STATISTICAL MODELS

The solid waste generation (SWG) rates required for solid waste management in the study

area of Salem City Municipal corporation (SCMC) have been forecast for the period of next

five years say 2017 to 2021(five years period is considered as short-term planning period)

using statistical models such as,

"Double Exponential Smoothing" (DES) mathematical model.

―Double Moving Average‖ (DMA) statistical model.

4.1. Double Exponential Smoothing (DES) Statistical Model

Exponential smoothing is a simple thumb rule method for smoothing time series data

adopting the exponential window function. Whereas in the simple moving average method the

past measurements are weighted equally, exponential functions are adopted to assign

exponentially decreasing weights over time.

The double exponential smoothing model which is to project N years where N is five

years in the forecasting solid waste management parameters using the previous data for less

than or equal to N years of the same parameters.

The double exponential smoothing is the process which means change over time, which is

an accepted statistical time series modelling as explained below.

The model considered in this study is

Yt= u1+u2t+εt

Where = u1 and u2 are the parameters and εt is a random component with mean zero and

variance‗‘, t is the period.

We can estimate the parameters with respect to time using the above model as given

below.

E(Yt) = u1+u2 T

This can be seen with the simplification procedure.

If simple exponential smoothing were applied to the observations from the linear process,

we could obtain at the end of the period T.

ST = αYt + (1-α)ST-1

The forecasting value for the period ‗T+h' made at the end of the period is

Based on the observations given in the above table, it can be concluded that the %

increase of average SWG rate of the case study yearly data is 29 to 31. It can also be found

that population is more than, SWG rates which is higher than city's population. The

percentage increase of average solid waste generation rates for the components of solid waste

during the period 2011 to 2016 and also for the forecast period of 2016 to 2021 in the case

study city (SCMC) are given below as a tabular form.

Function Halls 110.44 117.81 6.67

Based on the above observations from the above table the conclusions about the

percentage increase of SWG rate as follows:

The percentage increase of SWG rate in the residential area is 0.51 to 0.54, due to high SWG

rate from 2011 to 2016.

The percentage increase in SWG rate in the commercial establishment is 12.98. This increase

is due to expected commercial activity increase as the city population and industrial activity in

the case study increases and is seen in table 2 and 4

The percentage increase of SWG rate of hotels is 33.35 due to increase in population and

development in the hotel business.

The percentage increase of SWG rate in institutions is 44.6 indicating the development of the

education system.

As the percentage increase of SWG markets increases, the trend of the SWG rate also

increases. As the population grows there is a demand for the markets also to expand.

The meat stalls also increase as there is an increase in the population and dependency on meat.

The percentage of cinema halls is 32.92 as population increases.There is a need for the

increase in places of the entertainment for the people.

The percentage of increase in the function halls is also due to the increase in population

increase, and there is a need for the rise in it.

4.2. Double moving average method for SCMC from 2016 to 2021

As per established statistically times series methods, the method which gives "least mean

square error" is considered as reliable forecasting method for solid waste management in the

case study city (SCMC) for the period 2016 to 2021. Double exponential smoothing has been

proposed because of its least mean square error is less. ―Double moving average‖ DMA

statistical model has been considered in this study.

The moving average method approach may be used to forecast the future observations

from a time series which has a linear trend. Suppose time series model is

Yt = Yt= u1+u2t+εt

Where u1 and u2 are unknown parameters andtis an uncorrelated error component with

mean ‗0‘ and variance‗‘ and ―t ― is a time period.

At time t, the N- period simple moving average is

MT = YT + YT-1+ ………+YT-N+1

N

The expected values of MT, assuming that observations came from the linear trend process is

E(MT) = E (YT ) – (N-1) (u2)

2

M is an unbiased estimation. The expected value of the Simple moving average M T lays

behind the level of the process at time T, T E(Y ) ,by an amount equals to 2 (N-1)/2(b ) .

Consider a moving average of the moving averages called a double moving average,

MT (2)

= MT + MT+1+ ……..+ MT+N+1

N

This is reference relation between double moving average and simple moving average,

It has to be solved that

E [ MT (2)

] = E(YT) – (N-1)/2(b2)

By solving these equations we get the values of u1 and u2

u1= 2E(MT) – E [ MT (2)

] - u2T

u2 = 2/N-1[E(MT) – E [ MT (2)

]]

The future forecast of h period is

Y(T)

T+H = 2M(T) - MT(2)

+ h [ 2(N-1)( MT - MT (2)

)]

4.3. Comparison of forecast waste generation of statistical models

The forecast quantity of waste generation is done by using Double exponential smoothing and

double moving average method and both the methods are compared where the percentage

increase in quantity of waste generation is 36.34 for the period 2011-16 and for 2016-21 it

was found to be 24.58 in DES model and 6.25 in DMA model. A detail comparison has

shown in table 11.

5. CONCLUSIONS

Solid waste generation rates have been successfully calculated using the previous year

generation rate and expenditure made towards to the generation for successful solid waste

management.

For the forecast of solid waste management, two statistical models have been used namely

Double exponential method (DES) and Double moving average method (DMA) and

differences between two ways have been found out.

Solid waste generation rates have been calculated for all the SCMC.It is observed that zone 3

has high waste generation rates due to the high population in that zone.

Based on the observation it can be concluded that the % of increase of solid waste generation

rate in the city is increased from 29 to 31.
