| 4. | Description | Abstract | An assessment of the water quality of Cagayan de Oro River was conducted in Uguiaban Bridge in Sitio Balaun, Rafting Site in Barangay Mambauaya, and the New Bridge in Poblacion Area. The assessment of the river was based on water quality indicators (flow rate, pH, temperature, and total coliform), social indicators (anthropogenic activities), and level of environmental awareness. The research design used qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the data obtained. The findings of the study showed values in water quality testing that were within standards except for total coliform that always showed exceedingly high values. In terms of the total coliform, the water quality is not within Class A standards. The highest coliform values were obtained from the Poblacion Area. However, compared to previous studies, values for total coliform have greatly  reduced in all sampled areas but must require some measures to bring back the water quality to Class A. The environmental awareness survey indicated only at moderate level and has some policy implications on the residential, commercial, and industrial activities. Stringent implementation of the environmental laws is highly recommended. Extensive Information Education (IEC) campaign should also be done along with seminars on capacity building. Stringent implementation of barangay ordinances is recommended as well. Â
