is one of the major tributary of Pasig river which has a length of 1.51 km and an
area of 1 142 225.4 sq. m. It has a total catchment area of 1 700 000 sq. m. A
catchment area or drainage basin is an area where all surface water from
analyzing and explaining its hydrological aspect. Among the data gathered were its
oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand, all during the wet and dry
season.

This is because the demand for oxygen by the bacteria is high and they are
taking that oxygen from the oxygen dissolved in the water. If there is no
to decompose it and thus the BOD will tend to belower and the DO level will
tend to be higher.
A 100 mg/L or greater demand only shows that the quality of water is
very poor and it is very much polluted. With that, the quality of water in
