  • Utilization and Quality of Free-Flowing Groundwater in Barangay Poblacion, Ibajay, Aklan
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2016 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 7-9, 2016 Utilization and Quality of Free-flowing Groundwater in Barangay Poblacion, Ibajay, Aklan Genara Verangel1 and Nenilyn Erenea2 1 Aklan State University; Science Education Department, BAGCED, De La Salle University, Manila 2 Aklan State University, Aklan *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract: Groundwater is the most important natural resource used for drinking by many people around the world. In Barangay Poblacion, Ibajay, Aklan, there are eight “free-flowing” groundwater sources that is accessible to the residents twenty four hours a day. The provision of uninterrupted water supply improves the living conditions of all people in the community but the use of water should be conserved, maximized and regulated to prevent shortage. The resource cannot be optimally used and sustained unless the quality of groundwater is assessed to protect the health of water users. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach to assess the utilization and quality of groundwater. A survey questionnaire was administered among 247 head-of- the-families to determine the utilization of water. Water sample from every source was subjected to laboratory analysis. Sixty five percent of households were utilizing groundwater and use it primarily for drinking. Further, one free-flowing source was found positive of fecal coliform bacteria but other sources conformed to pH, total hardness, heterotrophic plate count, and total coliform tests and pass the Philippine National Standard for Drinking Water. The study pointed out the need to perform periodic and complete monitoring of the potability of water in free-flowing sources for the water was basically used for drinking.
