Macro-invertebrates and geological structures were assessed in relation to water quality. Quantitative analysis on the physicochemical parameters, such as, pH, temperature, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, nitrates and orthophosphates were done, to compare with the standard criteria set by the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Administrative Order 90-34, in four consecutive months, covering rainy and dry seasons.
