SUMMARY:
In this landmark local investigation, the nutrient dynamics that affect the ecosystem health of selected lakes in the Province of Laguna will be investigated. The findings will be useful in developing integrated approaches to lake recovery from eutrophication and aquatic resource conservation. Policies and innovative strategies for the reduction of nutrient enrichment can then be developed. The science-based outcomes of this study will contribute to the long-term sustainability of the natural resources of lakes in the country.
OBJECTIVE:
To determine nutrient dynamics in lake systems based on internal nutrient loading from sediment that contribute to the eutrophication of lakes in the Philippines.

SUMMARY
| The occurrence of water contaminants such as pesticides, industrial chemicals, heavy metals, nutrients, pathogens, etc. contributes to the pollution of waterways and river systems in the Philippines. This research will focus on the occurrence, levels and locational sources of Endocrine Disrupting compounds (EDCs) to provide up-to-date scientific data and information on emerging contaminants in aquatic systems in the country. The findings will also be useful in formulating guidelines on the prevention of EDCs contamination not only in wastewater treatment plant effluents and urban wastewaters but also in aquatic systems especially those that are used in aquaculture and domestic water production |
|
MAIN OBJECTIVES
The aim of the project is to determine the occurrence, levels, and variations of endocrine disrupting compounds in waterways and river systems that reach aquatic systems.
