Question 1.
Characterize the past and most recent situation with respect to chemical contamination in the Boonsong Lekagul waterways. Do you see any trends of possible interest in this investigation? Your submission for this questions should contain no more than 10 images and 1000 words.
The graph below shows the trend of maximum chemical contamination over the years with the maximum chemical contamination in 2016. Overall, we observe that the maximum chemical contamination in 2016 was less than the overall maximum. In short, 2016 was not the year that contributed to the highest chemical contamination in Boonsong Lekagul Waterways. However, we do observe that chemical levels in 2016 were high in the month of April and October in the year 2016.
Biochemical Oxygen and Chemical Oxygen
Unusually high amount of Biochemical Oxygen and Chemical Oxygen found on Tansanee region. Sample taken on 17th February 2016 showed excessive high content of these chemicals in the water.
Comparing the overall trend of Biochemical Oxygen in water to the 2016 trend, we observe that for all the other months except February, the maximum amount of chemical contamination is way below the maximum amount of chemical contamination of all the years. However, Biochemical Oxygen levels reached their peak in Feb 2016 (its highest ever) with a value of 74.71.
Comparing the overall trend of Chemical Oxygen Demand to its 2016 trend, we observe in 2016 the maximum Chemical Oxygen levels are way below the overall maximum except for February (highest ever) and March where the maximum in 2016 is just slightly below the overall maximum.
