Abstract
Increasing human activities caused by population growth and rapid urbanization among cities exacerbates problems on water quality degradation particularly those critical surface waters essentially important in the development of urban areas. Sometimes, as it is always been a widely known practice, these water resources becomes the receiving channels for liquid wastes coming from storm, households, commercial, agricultural, institutional, and industrial sources as urban sewerage and drainage systems were emptied into these surface water resources such as lakes, rivers, streams and even, in some cases, to the open seas. What worsen to this alarming wastewater disposal practice is that these poorly treated liquid wastes were allowed to be discharged into the environment with too little consideration of its harmful effects hence, the scale of threat it posed into the host community's economic potential and to the quality of water on its important water bodies also increases. This paper attempts to discuss a similarly situated local condition from which the above cited hypothesis is most likely happening. Discussing the case of water quality in Dipolog, the specific study area is focused at the Dipolog City Boulevard which becomes practically the receiving point from the two river systems in the urban center and the City's sewerage network, all carrying urban effluents that affects the tourism and economic potentials of this newly designated wellness and activity center of the city aimed to pushing the issue in the lenses of public consciousness With careful evaluation on the various wastewater challenges felt and keen analysis on the current strength and weaknesses that the City is facing, this paper further attempts to suggest appropriate policies that the local authorities may probably consider to impede further deterioration of water quality in the future. It is then recognized that the different technical and financial challenges faced by the government, lack of cooperation and poor sanitation practices of the concerned local community, and insufficient wastewater support infrastructure exacerbate the waste water issue. With the different policy alternatives being offered, the writer also attempts to discuss the possible implications of these options citing the administrative, logistical, technical and political readiness and capability of the local government unit to address the issue. It is also hoped that, although several critical data were actually not available, for the purpose of raising this concern into an initial forum of public discussion to elevate public awareness, first-hand information based on key informants interviews research on
