A study to determine the quality of drinking water from underground sources was conducted in Matuod, Lian, Batangas, from March to July, 1992.Six sampling stations were selected and samples collected were analyzed in terms of the physico-chemical parameters necessary in the maintenance of clean drinking water. Results showed that nitrate ranges from 0.00 - 0.435 mg/L alkalinity 0.0013 - 0.0070 mg/L salinity 0.00 - 0.60 mg/L phosphate 0.00 - 0.553 mg/L dissolved oxygen 3.95 - 15.10 mg/L pH 6.2 - 7.7 temperature 27.0 - 33 centigrade conductivity 298 - 1,320 umhos.
