Abstract
The groundwater samples taken from the study area had temperature, pH, and total dissolved solids (TDS) values ranging from 23.7˚C -25.2˚C, 5.7 - 7.2, and 43.05 -800.09 mg/L.respectively. Likewise, nitrate-N, chloride, and sodium ions concentrations ranged from 0.3 - 1.3 mg/L, 4.96 – 224.44 mg/L, and 5.98 - 50.14 mg/L respectively. The values of the parameters were within the ranges set by Philippine National Standard Drinking Water, groundwater in the northern part (SW4 and SW6) had higher concentrations of TDS, Sodium, and Chloride due to saltwater intrusion. For bacteriological examination, the result obtained that groundwater from the southern part (SW1, SW2, SW4, and SW5) had higher values of less than (<1.8 MPN/100 mL) for both total and fecal coliform count. However, in the northern part (SW3 and SW6), the total and fecal coliform counts were 16,000 MPN/100 mL and 1,100 MPN/100 mL, respectively. Therefore, the groundwater in the southern portion is safer to drink than the groundwater in the northern portion of the study area
