Description

Water quality is crucial for maintaining environmental health, particularly at prestigious institutions like Johnson County Community College (JCCC) in Overland Park, Kansas. This study examines water samples collected from water bodies around JCCC to identify potential contaminants including metals. The college's stormwater management system relies on natural methods to treat runoff and enhance local water quality. Our analysis provides detailed findings on the presence of contaminants and evaluates the effectiveness of JCCC’s current water management strategies in maintaining safe and clean water resources on campus.
