Stop Polluting the Boonsong Lekagul Wildlife Preserves

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 assignment is simple and clear - analyse the dataset to find any evidence to support the claim against Kasio's environment damage.



Mini Challenge 2 - Checklist of Tools Provided

2 Datasets are provided by Mistford College Hydrology- - Boonsong Lekagul Waterway Readings - Chemical Units of Measures

In addition, the College has also provided a map of the Preserve with named sampling sites indicated on the map.

All the dataset and maps have been incorporated into Tableau available via: WJZ's MC2 Tableau
