THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
1. World Health Organization
The World Health Organization (WHO) provides a standard for drinking water quality
around the world in Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality which is currently in its fourth
edition. This publication provides guidelines for a vast array of chemical, microbial, and
radiological contaminants commonly found in drinking water. The WHO has health-based
targets for many of the contaminants. A health-based target is defined as, “measurable health,
water quality or performance objectives that are established based on a judgment of safety and
on risk assessments of waterborne hazards”. Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality also provides
a framework for achieving safe drinking water by implementing health-based targets, creating a
water safety plan, and maintaining water surveillance.
The guidelines presented for the parameters measured by the WHO are as follows:
A. Total Coliform Bacteria (Escherichia coli)
Because there are a plethora of pathogens that can be present in drinking water, it is not feasible
or cost-effective to test for all of them. In order to monitor microbial quality of drinking water,
certain indicator organisms can be measured to test for fecal pollution. The criteria for these non-
pathogen fecal indicators includes universal presence in human and animal feces, does not
multiply in water, behaves and responds to treatment similarly to fecal pathogens, and can be
easily measured. The most common fecal indicator is Escherichia coli (E. coli). The guideline
value presented by the WHO for E. coli is that it “must not be detectable in any 100 ml sample”.
Total coliform includes E. coli as well as a wide range of other bacteria, traditionally including
Citrobacter, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter. Although it does not meet all the criteria for being a
fecal indicator, total coliform can also be measured to monitor the cleanliness of the distribution
system, to indicate level of disinfection, and to detect the formation of bio-films (WHO 2011).
B. Temperature
The WHO does not have any specific guidelines for water temperature but it is noted that higher
water temperatures are less pleasing to consumers and warm water encourages microorganism
growth.
C. pH Level
The pH is important in the effectiveness of disinfection and impacts corrosion of pipes. A pH of
less than 8.0 is most effective for chlorine disinfection, but pH less than 7 has a higher likelihood
of being corrosive, although alkalinity and calcium content also influence corrosivity. The best
pH for a 17 system varies depending on the specific parameters of a system however the WHO
does suggest a range of 6.5 to 8.5
D. Turbidity
Turbidity is a measure of light transmission through water which is influenced by the organic
and inorganic particles suspended in the water. Turbidity can be an indicator of microbial
contamination as microorganisms like to attach to these particles. In the treatment process,
lowering turbidity through coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration prior to disinfection makes
the disinfection much more efficient as the pathogens attached to particles are removed.
Turbidity increase during distribution may be indicative of bio-films inside pipes or of outside
contamination entering pipes. Turbidity also affects the physical appearance of the water so
visibly turbid water (>4 NTU) is less likely to appeal to the consumer. The unit of turbidity
measurement is the Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU). The WHO suggests a maximum of 1
NTU prior to disinfection although <0.5 NTU and an average of 0.2 NTU or less is encouraged
for large municipal supplies. The WHO also suggests a maximum of 5 NTU.
2. Philippine National Standard For Drinking Water (2007)
Setting standards for drinking water establishes threshold limits for different impurities found in
drinking water. These limits are intended to minimize risk and therefore prevent deleterious
health repercussions that result from lifelong exposure to these impurities through consumption
of water. The Department of Health is mandated to formulate standards to this effect. Chapter II
(Water Supply), Section 9 of the Code on Sanitation of the Philippines states that “Standards for
drinking water and their microbiological and chemical examinations, together with the
evaluation of results, shall conform to the criteria set by the Philippine National Drinking Water
Standards.”
Standard Values for Physical and Chemical Quality for Acceptability Aspects:
A. pH Level
PNSW sets the acceptable pH range of 6.5 – 8.5 and 5 – 7 for product water that undergone
reverse osmosis or distillation process. The pH range is based on aesthetic consideration only.
The acceptable range may be broader in the absence of a distribution system. pH is important as
operational water quality parameter.
B. Turbidity
The maximum level for turbidity is set at 5 NTU. Turbidity increases with the quantity of
suspended matters in water
C. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
The maximum level (mg/L) is set at 500 and <10 for product water that undergone reverse
osmosis or distillation process. TDS in drinking water originate from natural sources, sewage,
urban runoff and industrial wastewater.

Methods
Research Design
Experimental research design will be used since its aim is to identify the characteristics of
the water that will describe its portability. The focus of this study is on gaining insights and
familiarity for later investigation.
Research Setting
This research will be conducted in Ozamiz City, the spring of Barangay Bagakay with a
latitude of 8°08'43.0"N and longitude of 123°49'03.7 E. Bagakay Spring is remarkably known as
a main source of drinking-water and is also utilized for personal hygienic purposes, laundry
making and other household uses. In the spring, there are a number of pipes branching out from
the reservoir, one of which will be specifically used for the collection of spring water for
drinking purposes.
Research Instruments
Research Instruments
The following materials needed in the collection and transportation of water samples for laboratory
analysis for its microbiological level and heavy metals; testing the pH level and temperature of the water,
the flow rate of the water, Total Suspended Solids, Total Dissolved Solids, Electrical Conductivity and
Dissolved Oxygen are shown in tabular form:
Sealant 1
Clear plastic tube (used to 1
hold fluorescent light bulbs)
3 to 1 inch white Plexiglas 1
discs
Black permanent marker 1
Measuring tape or ruler 1
Ethical Considerations
Consent will be taken from Misamis University in the conduction of the research. Testing
for the parameters involved are in line with the guidelines set the Philippine National Standard
for Drinking Water Quality (PNSW).
Data Analysis
The gathered results are to be expressed descriptively as mean with standard deviation.
The difference between the parameter and sampling dates were determined using Two Way-
ANOVA (0.05 level of significance). To determine if the parameters passed they will be be
compared with the standards set by Philippine National Standard for Drinking Water Quality of
2017. Analysis for microbiological levels, Total Coliform (T. C.), Fecal Coliform (F.C.) and
Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC), Multiple Tube Fermentation Technique will be used. While
analysis for physicochemical properties like Temperature – Mercury Thermometer, pH level -
Portable Digital pH Meter, Turbidity – Nephelometric Method, Flow Rate – Bucket Method, for
Total Suspended Solids, Total Dissolved Solids and Electrical Conductivity – TDS & EC
multimeter, Total Dissolved Oxygen- - Dissolved Oxygen sensor. For the heavy metals (lead and
nitrate) – Gas Chromatographic/Mass Spectrometic Method
