Problem Statement

In MC Challenge 2017, the Kasios Furniture Company was implicated in environment damage to the Boonsong Lekagul Wildlife for both dumping toxic waste and polluting the air with chemicals from its manufacturing process.(MC2 Challenge Overview). The soil has since not been able to use for evidence, as construction work was conducted on the site.

With a hope to find out alternative evidence for Kasio's environment damage, the Mistford College Hydrology Department has provided a dataset of water sensor readings from rivers and streams in the preserve. The task is simply, analyse the dataset to find any evidence to support the claim against Kasio's environment damage.
