Heavy metal concentration in local watersheds

Abstract
Heavy metals commonly found in water include manganese, lead, arsenic, chromium and copper.
Metals play an important role in stabilizing a healthy biochemical ecosystem; however, lead, chromium and arsenic are harmful and toxic when ingested.
Areas with a rich history of pollution have a higher probability of contaminated waters. Studying local watersheds can lead to identifying harmful metals and informing local public about the
risk of using contaminated watershed for recreational use.
