Assessment of the Location, Water Quality and Quantity, and Beneficial Uses of Selected Springs in Upland ilflaragondon River Watershed, Cavite, Philippines. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2019. Adviser: Ms. Amyel Dale L. Cero
The study was conducted in Upland Maragondon River Watershed which covers the municipality of Alfonso, Indang, Mendez, and Tagaytay City in the province of Cavite from December 2018 to April 2019. The study was done to assess the location, water quality and quantity, and beneficial uses of the springs in Upland Maragondon River Watershed. Specifically, the study aimed to: (1) determine the locations of springs in Upland Maragondon River Watershed; (2) determine the water quality of selected springs in Upland Maragondon River Watershed in terms of temperature, pH, color, TSS, nitrate, phosphate, chloride, and fecal coliform; (3) measure the water discharge of the selected springs in Upland Maragondon River Watershed; (4) identify the beneficial uses of the springs in Upland Maragondon River Watershed; (5) identify the environmental threats to the springs; and (6) determine conservation measures being implemented towards the protection and conservation of springs in the Upland Maragondon River Watershed in Cavite.
The study revealed that there are 21 springs located in upland Maragondon River Watershed. Among the selected sampling sites, only the water samples from the spring at Brgy. Galicia I, Mendez had concentrations of fecal coliform above the limit for Class A freshwater according to DENR Administrative Order 2016-08. The possibke factors that contributed to fecal coliform contamination are: (1) absence of spring cover. (2) lack of septic tanks, and (3) improper solid waste management. On the other hand, only the water samples from the spring at Brgy. Sinalivv na Malaki, Alfonso had nitrate concentrations above the allowable limit based on DAO 2016-08. The possible reason for this is the presence of piggery near the spring, which may have discharged wastewater towards the spring. High water discharge were recorded in Sitio Kaytayo, Brgy. Sta. Teresa and in Brgy. Sinaliw na Malaki in Alfonso, Cavite.
Furthermore, it was also determined that the common beneficial uses of spring among the members of the community are water for drinking, laundry, cooking, gardening, and bathing. Meanwhile, the common issues and threats to the springs that were identified are improper solid waste management, natural disasters, and water exhaustion. The policies implemented by most of the barangays that are relevant to the protection and conservation of the springs were in line with RA 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Act of 2000) and RA 9275 (Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004). However, the officials did not adopt the penalties, fines, compensation, and way of implementation.
