Abstract
This study was aimed to examine the frequent variations in four selected physico-chemical parameters of surface water of two lakes in Laguna: Laguna de Bay in Calamba City and Sampaloc Lake in San Pablo City. Parameters such as conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and temperature were determined using in-situ water quality tester. The two lakes are both freshwater body, different data are collected and observed throughout the sampling. Due to various anthropogenic activities, the lakes are biotically affected. The water quality of the two important lakes in Laguna have been compared in different parameters like pH, DO, conductivity, water temperature and color. The result indicates that both lakes are within the standard (25-31°C) of DENR Administrative Order (DAO 2016-08 for Class C), but except for water temperature which exceeds the standard value (36.37°C mean values). The results support insights about the future effects of increased water temperature on fish management and the lake ecosystem for numerous aquatic purposes. This is also for the management and call on action for the residents and local government unit in said municipalities of Laguna especially after pandemic season.
