Water Pollution is one of the major concerns that is currently increasing, not only in the Philippines, but also across the world. Industrialization, Urbanization and Damming of rivers are one of the reasons behind the contamination of water (Villahermosa, R.A., 2012). These ill activities of humans can greatly affect the water especially its chemical and biological composition which can easily be observed with its cloudiness or its turbidity. It can also cause the pH of the water to increase resulting

In 1950, 30 percent of the world’s population was residing in urban areas while in 2014,

global attention has been drawn to the fact that world’s population has been urbanized, triggering them to move from a rural area to an urban society.
