Riparian zone analysis using Riparian, Channel and Environmental (RCE) inventory and water testing analysis in Lun Padidu river, Lun Padidu, Malapatan, Sarangani Province, Philippines

摘要

The Riparian Channel and Environmental (RCE) inventory was developed to quickly assess thephysical and biological conditions of small streams in lowland, agricultural landscapes in temperate regionsthat have been physically modified. Furthermore, the inventory was developed to assess physicaldisruption of the channel and riparian zone. There were three sites used to conduct the study whichmeasure 2 kms and 4 kms upland and 2 kms downland from the origin point which is the bridge. Watersamples were taken from each site. Physico-chemical testings were used to assess the sample. Resultsrevealed that the Lun Padidu river is under the classification of very good status for the RCE and the dataresults of the water samples showed that the water is suitable for the convenience of living.
