INTRODUCTION Solid waste is increasing in Dhaka city day by day. Due to - Rapid population growth -Urbanization -Increased quality of life

Hence.. Dumping of solid waste has become a great problem GIS techniques can be applied to solve this problem

Methodology Maps : The base map --- Water logging map of Dhaka City Structural map of Dhaka City Detailed Area Plan

Prepared map--- Major roads Restricted areas Rivers and proposed retention ponds

Because --Major roads: for easy transport -- Restricted areas : dumping is solely prohibited -- Rivers and proposed retention ponds: Prohibited dumping Not in future plan

Methodology Arc View techniques - On the screen Digitizing -Editing -Buffering of the map layers -Overlay techniques
