1. A method of increasing the evaporation rate of leachate contained within a leachate pond comprising the steps of:
installing at least one frame 44 arranged around and/or above the surface of the leachate pond 10 in relative proximity to the leachate pond 10 air-leachate interface surface 25; and
mounting a plurality of heat lamps on the at least one frame 44, such the heat emanating from the plurality of heat lamps is directed at the leachate pond, the plurality of heat lamps being mounted close enough to the surface of the leachate pond such that application of heat and heat energy across the air-leachate interface surface 25 of the leachate pond 10 by the plurality of heat lamps accelerates the evaporation rate of leachate 30 contained in the leachate pond 10.
