Sta. Rosa River Water Quality Report

The document discusses water quality monitoring results from 1997 to 2018 for the Sta. Rosa River in the Philippines. Water quality was monitored at 13 stations along the river through measurements of biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, ammonia, phosphates, and fecal coliform levels. The results show high levels of pollution from 1997 to 2012 that decreased over time but still exceeded water quality guidelines in later years. Monthly monitoring from 2012 to 2018 also revealed better water quality upstream but poorer quality downstream. Next steps proposed to further improve the river's water quality.
