Leachate generation is an inevitable consequence of waste disposal in landfills. Numerous mathematical modelshave been developed to simulate leachate occurrence and behavior. However, these models have been successful toa limited extent because of uncertainties associated with biological, chemical, and physical processes in landfills. Inorder to predict the generation of leachate in closed landfills, correlation analysis was conducted based on precipitationin this paper. Regression analysis for deriving the correlation between precipitation and leachate generation rate wasperformed in a closed landfill. As a result, we found that the amount of leachate which is generated regardless ofprecipitation should be considered as well as the percolation of precipitation. Also, it was possible to make an fairlyaccurate prediction of leachate generation only using precipitation data in this paper. It is suggested that the amountof leachate generation is 4~8% of monthly precipitation and about 25,000m3/month of base generation regardlessof precipitation. However, the predicted values of leachate generation for the high precipitation seasons were not closeto those observed.
