Abstract :
Pagbanganan River that traverses Baybay
City, Leyte, is one of the major rivers in Leyte. The river
plays a significant role in catering the necessities for all
types of organism’s dependent on it. This study was
conducted in order to establish baseline data on the
physicochemical characteristics of the water in
Pagbanganan River through its pH, water temperature,
dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), total hardness (as
CaCO3), total alkalinity, total dissolved solids (TDS),
water conductivity, phosphates (as reactive
phosphorous) and sulfates level and assess the quality of
the water by comparing the values obtained with the
standard limits set by DENR (2016) and US EPA (2005).
Sampling was done on a one-month interval from
August, 2016 to December, 2016 following standard
method. Results revealed that the water in Pagbanganan
River system had an averag
