Abstract

Faridabad is the largest metropolitan city in Haryana State (India). Solid waste management is one of the biggest environmental issues for the municipal corporation of Faridabad. The Municipal Corporation of Faridabad seems unable to manage the solid waste due to highly increased urbanization and lack of planning, funds, and advanced technology. Hence, various private sector companies and nongovernment organizations are required to work in this sector to resolve such issues. For the success of such useful work, proper planning is required. Successful planning depends on the exact prediction of the amount of solid waste generation. In this paper an artificial neural network model is applied to predict the quantity of solid waste generation in Faridabad city.
