Assessment of Water Management in Gapan City Basis for Policy Legislation

Abstract Anthropogenic activities had a great possibility of irrigation canal contamination because of the potential number of contaminants that may accumulate. Brgy. San Vicente in Gapan City had determined to have this threat. This study analyzes the NIA-UPRIIS Irrigation Canal via water quality analysis, administers a research questionnaire to identify the most occurring activities, and reviews the City’s existing ordinance to find out if there is any Gap when it comes to water quality management. The mean pH (8.52), Ammonia (1.75 mg/L), Nitrate (9.73 mg/L), and Phosphate (5.90 mg/L) were found to violate the set standard of DAO-2016-08 in Class C Water Bodies given by DENR. Among the three observed anthropogenic activities, Urban Activities were found to be the most occurring event in the Canal. This followed by Household Activities and next by Agricultural Activities. Their total weighted mean was 4.34, 4.12, and 3.76 respectively. In reviewing the city’s ordinance, lack of specificity, implementing issues and citizen responsibility were found. First, this was because of the broad spectrum of the already laid out ordinance, which does not address the day’s observed problem in the canal. Second, even though there is an ordinance related to water quality management implementation and proper monitoring of it were set aside. Lastly, proper awareness of the citizens still needed to avoid irresponsible practices in the canal.
