Abstract	51 Effect of distance from the Cagayan de Oro, Philippines, dumpsite on the groundwater quality of shallow dug wells RJ Krista Raye Y. Leocadio 1, *, Romeo R. Quizon 2 1Department of Environmental Science and Technology, College of Arts and Sciences, Mindanao University of Science and Technology, Cagayan de Oro, Philippines 2Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, College of Public Health, University of the Philippines, Manila, Philippines Abstract: Leachate from dumpsites is generated as a result of the contact of water, during precipitation, with solid wastes. In this study, selected physical and chemical parameters of water were compared in the areas near and far from the dumpsite. Findings showed that the proportion of sampled wells that yielded poor in color was not significantly different in both near and far from the dumpsite areas; but, the levels of turbidity were observed to be significantly poor in the areas far from the dumpsite. On the chemical parameters of water, the proportion of sampled wells that yielded poor in TDS was significantly higher in the areas far from the dumpsite compared to the areas near the dumpsite. The chemical parameters pH, sulfate, chloride, and nitrate of the groundwater in wells were within the permissible limits of Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW). With these assessments of groundwater quality understudied, it is recommended that further study, with an appropriate plan and design, on the hydrogeological formation of the dumpsite be conducted and trace the flow of leachate.
