It divides into small branches that empty to several fishponds especially in the town of Candaba. This study aimed to initially identify the physico- chemical characteristics of the river using some parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates. Dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature were measured using DO meter, pH meter, and thermometer. Chemical tests were done on site using test kits from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (API). It was found that ammonia and phosphate concentrations exceeded the maximum value required by the DAO 34 -Water Quality Standard for Class C Water. The DO concentration was below the minimum requirements for river water. Key Words: Candaba; Pampanga; River Water; Community 1.
