Water Quality and Phytoplankton Composition of Lake Pandin in San Pablo, Laguna (original) (raw)

This study investigates the water quality and phytoplankton composition of Lake Pandin in San Pablo, Laguna, highlighting the impact of human activities on the lake's ecosystem. Increased organic matter and nutrient loading due to unregulated discharges and agricultural practices contribute significantly to the lake's eutrophication, affecting its pH, turbidity, and algal productivity. The findings aim to emphasize the urgent need for effective wetland management policies to address pollution and preserve the ecological balance of Lake Pandin.
