To understand the soil-pollutant interaction geo-environmental engineer design a hydraulic barrier to control the transport of pollutant through the soil and minimize the pollution of affecting the soil properties. Hence, in this study one-dimensional soil column method was stimulated similar to the field conditions. The extraction of leachate from the municipal solid waste was manipulated based on the annual precipitation data. The test result showed that the concentration of extracted leachate was increased up to 45 days and slightly decreased by increasing the addition of water. The interaction of extracted leachate changes the soil characteristics (i.e., increasing tendency by period). The result showed that the LL and PL of the soil was increased by increasing the addition of leachate. The UCS was increased from 167.80 kPa to 176.54 kPa up to 75th days and then decreased gradually at 95th to 105th days. Conversely, hydraulic conductivity was decreased at the initial stage and then gradually increased at the end of the experiment. These changes in the soil characteristics are mainly due to the alters of soil particles into dispersive structure with more effective pore space, which reduces the soil strength and increases the permeability value.
