Abstract
Groundwater samples were taken from seven (7) deep wells in DMMMSU, Agoo
Campus, La Union during the dry and wet seasons in 2013. Bacteriological and
physico-chemical parameters were measured using the standard laboratory
procedures. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, DMRT, T-test, and
Pearson Product Moment of Correlation. Results were compared with the numerical
values set by national and global standards. Groundwater samples contain
significantly higher numbers of total and fecal coliform bacteria but negative for E.
coli in both seasons. All water samples did not pass the national and global
standards for bacteriological tests. The physico-chemical characteristics of the
groundwater samples are within the normal ranges although minerals and suspended
solids are present. This research provides information regarding the present quality
of groundwater supply which can be disseminated in the form of brochure to the
entire population of the campus. Furthermore, this could serve as a reforencefor
future research and relocation of the deep wells with periodic monitoring.
