Waste sanitary landfilling is generally opposed by public opinion as responsible of aquifer contamination even when other possible contaminating sources exist in the area. A new tool based on time-spatial evaluation of groundwater contamination is presented, capable of appreciating the direct responsibilities of a MSW sanitary landfill when the aquifer becomes polluted. A successful application of the tool to the case of a medium-size Italian city is discussed.
Author Keywords: solid waste disposal, aquifer pollution, responsibility assessment among various players.

Abstract
Waste sanitary landfilling is generally opposed by public opinion as responsible of aquifer contamination even when other possible contaminating sources exist in the area. A new tool based on time-spatial evaluation of groundwater contamination is presented, capable of appreciating the direct responsibilities of a MSW sanitary landfill when the aquifer becomes polluted. A successful application of the tool to the case of a medium-size Italian city is discussed.
Author Keywords: solid waste disposal, aquifer pollution, responsibility assessment among various players.
