Team 19 LACA - LACA Water Quality Data Platform

Project Abstract

The Lake Anna Civic Association (LACA) of Lake Anna, VA collects water quality data to maintain the health of the lake. LACA required a business process improvement plan to increase stakeholders’ access to data analytics. The team developed a method for analyzing and visualizing data sets using OpenRefine to clean existing data and RStudio to produce visualizations. This method reduces data analytics speed by 98.3%, which grants LACA forecasting capabilities for the entire lake. The implementation of this method is expected to have an estimated value of $500,000 to $1,000,000 due to increased government funding.
