The Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) describes the rate of oxygen consumption exerted by the bottom sediments on the overlying water. Studies in other countries show that SOD can account for more than 50 percent of the total oxygen demand in bodies of water. In the Philippines, studies using standard wa...
