Abstract
The goal of this study is to assess the water condition of the two
urban cities of Caraga Region XIII, namely: Butuan and Bayugan City and
the extent of spread of emerging infectious diseases. The descriptive
survey method was used in the study to investigate the problem. It is a
fact-finding method by way of collecting data from the City Health
Office, BCWD, CENRO, EMB of Butuan and Bayugan City and Department of
Health (DOH). Results of #physicochemicalanalysis of water were taken
from Taguibo River Laboratoty in a non-conforming parameter with
16 color units exceeds the maximum level 10 color units. In the
microbial analysis of water sample, there is less than 1.1 of coliforms
and fetal
coliforms observed and the remarks are negative that the water is safe.
Its Colony Forming Unit (CFU) of #microorganisms (bacteria molds and
yeasts) is in the range of 47 cfu/ml where it passed the standard
requirement for the water to declare as potable for drinking. The water
supply
of Butuan and Bayugan City have always monitored and tested in physical
and chemical analysis. This water has an impact to the health of the
people living in both cities. Emerging diseases such as simple diarrhea
and intestinal worms were prevalent in both cities and attributed on the
water process distributed per household.
