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 - What do we have and what do we want to find out
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.
3 major focuses of the study
- Characterize the past and most recent situation with respect to chemical contamination in the Boonsong Lekagul waterways.
- Any anomalies from the dataset? How does it affect the analysis?
- Would any of the finders cause particular concern for the Pipit or other wildlife.
All the dataset and maps have been incorporated into Tableau available via: WJZ's MC2 Tableau
1. The Map
The map provides a few key infomation
- the location of dump waste
- the sampling point
- the streams of waterflow
The information above will help form an understanding the business context
2. The Dataset - Readings
3. The Cars
4. The Visitors
The visitors were segmented as follows based on the nature of their movements in the reserve.
The graph below shows the composition of each cluster by car types.
5. The Data
Timestamp: the date and time the sensor reading was taken
Car-id: the assigned car ID from the entry gate
Car-type: Vehicle type as enumerated above. “P” is appended when it is a park vehicle
Gate-name: name of the sensors taking the reading. See the map
6. The Reserve Map
