Interned with Poseidon Education. I observed runoff pollution at our school, collected data samples, and analyzed certified lab results. I developed solutions for reducing pollution and presented a Water Quality Improvement Plan to the Santa Clara Valley Water Authority. I ran peer messaging campaigns, aimed at raising awareness for water pollution.
We collected stormwater runoff from different locations on campus during a rainy day.
We sent off our stormwater samples to a local, certified lab, which analyzed our samples and responded with values for a variety of measured pollutants.
With our certified lab results, we created cost-effective engineering solutions to reduce stormwater pollution from our campus.
We presented our Stormwater Quality Improvement Plan to the Santa Clara Valley Water Authority, the Silicon Valley Clean Water Authority, and the Campbell Union High School District, seeking funds for implementation.
