Abstract
Water quality monitoring activities is a vital part in assessing the status of certain bodies of water such as the Laguna de Bay. The lake has been a significant natural resource as a catchment of an expansive watershed providing various ecological and economic values. It is the largest inland water body in the Philippines and the third largest in South East Asia. Water quality monitoring network is a critical element in the assessment, restoration and protection of Laguna de Bay. This paper measured some important physico-chemical properties of four selected sites from Laguna de Bay such as temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen levels, and phosphate and ammonia concentrations. Water Quality Index (WQI) utilizing Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index Method was also evaluated.
