Abstract


The study investigated the water quality assessment of Blue Lagoon in Barangay Margues, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanaot can be used as a teaching model was conducted to describe the socio-demographic and economic profile of Margues, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao. We determined the physicochemical quality in terms of pH, DO, Turbidity, and Temperature of the Blue Lagoon and also determined the presence of Fecal coli from bacteria. Result of the physicochemical quality test of Blue Lagoon in terms of the temperature of between 24.7 and 24.90C, turbidity of between 384.72 and 396.68 cm, water pH of between 6.41 to 6.93, and the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) of between 6.2 and 6.5 mg/L. The water was positive in gas formation during the presumptive test. However, in the confirmatory test, there is no formation of a green metallic sheen which indicates a negative result on Escherichia coli. In terms of the demographic profile of the locality, the area is composed of 2,506 individuals or 332 households and the total land area is 5,050 hectares covering 70% of agricultural area, 20% of residential area, 6% of the idle area, and 4% of forested area. These results are then compared and used for the creation and the creation of a teaching model to sustain the environment
