I. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

of a person. Which is why there is a great emphasis why we value and give
importance to health.
a day for drinking, cooking, and simply keeping themselves clean. Most of us
today do not realize the importance of water to our overall health. True health
cannot occur without proper hydration of the body. Nevertheless when the
body does not receive a constant, reliable supply of fresh water, it has to ration
what's available and cut back on certain functions in order to make the supply
go round.
In our day-to-day lives, we take this necessity for granted. Like polluted
water, it isn’t just dirty it’s deadly. Some 1.8 million people die every year of
diarrheal diseases like cholera. Tens of millions of others are seriously sickened
(WHO–UNICEF, 2012).
Water is obviously essential for hydration and for food production but
blind, people suffer. Others experience severe cases such as essential systems
like the brain, being impaired due to the contamination of water and even the
skin, being the least important, is rationed the least amount of water.
Chronically dry skin and/or dandruff are signs of advanced bodily dehydration,

In Barangay Magtuod, Purok 2-B in Davao City has problem in water
supply and circulation. Due to the mountain that hinders the water
transportation, it needs more pressure, time and effort for it to flow in the
community, which is why they result to tapping other water sources such as
aquifers and springs. But still it imposes health related issues, such as the safety
and cleanliness of water for drinking. Thus, this leads the researchers to

poverty. Education suffers when sick children miss school, children and
women bear the brunt of these burdens. Economic opportunities are routinely
lost to the impacts of rampant illness and the time-consuming processes of
acquiring water where it is not readily available. With the result of this study it
will help the community to progress without decrementing their health and feel
safe. Along with the collaboration of the Local Government and the DOH it
will be an assistance for their agency to launch this project proposal which the

attaining MDG targets. ADB (2007) further said that for the Philippines in
2004, overall water supply coverage achieved was only 85 percent (87% urban
and 82% rural), with overall sanitation coverage of 72 percent (80% urban and
59% rural). It asserted therefore that progress on meeting MDG targets needs to
be improved.
Filtration does not only come in a very small level but to its extremely
small level as well. In the multi barrier approach to water treatment, the process
after precipitate into small lumps is the filtration step. The filtration step can be
maintained as a constant, and the flux declines with time as the filter membrane
is fouled with solids. For constant flux operations, the TMP are manipulated in
with retained material, the TMP must be increased to maintain permeate flux.

There are related studies that has been conducted by the Philippine
Government that gives essential data and information that would help the
researchers study. There are two related sub topics that is related to the study
namely, water resources due to the climate change and water progression in
rural areas.
the Philippines has total annual renewable water resources of 479 billion cubic
meters (m3) from its surface water and groundwater sources. This translates
into an annual per capita availability of about 6,100 m3, which is twice that of
the rest of Asia, and 6 times the global scarcity threshold of 1,000 m3.

Growing population especially in the urban areas together with water pollution,

water resources.
In the Philippines, climate change is also a concern for planners,

been met for drinking water. The JMP estimated that national coverage in the
Philippines was 92% in 2010, with 93% coverage in urban areas and 92% in
rural areas. The National Statistics Office (NSO) reported a lower figure of
84.8% of the population nationally having access to potable water (Levels I, II,
The JMP March 2012 Report stated that 43% of the country’s
population had access to water piped into private premises (Level III) in 2010.
However, the report highlighted a wide disparity in access between urban and
rural areas: 61% in urban areas compared to only 25% in rural areas. There are
no validated numbers for Level III water service providers (WSPs), and there is
reports, the number of Level III water systems in the country is estimated to
range from 3,000 to 6,000, reflecting the broad array of WSPs, including many
developers that supply water. The vast majority of these are not registered with
the NWRB, nor are they attached to a national agency. There are also no

per week], quality of water supplied, or supply of water on a per capita basis).
