Civil Engineering)--University of the Philippines Diliman April 2014 Abstract: Mining Industry is one of the most lucrative industries in the country. It comprises 40 billion worth of untapped mineral health. However, this industry produces harm to nearby communities as contaminated effluent water is thrown into nearby streams exposing the contaminants to humans. In this study, the analysis of the water quality of Bued River and its discharge have been analyzed and correlated. The Environment Management Bureau (EMB) handed the quarterly water quality data while the precipitation data was given by PAGASA and the gage height was given by the DPWS-BRS. The discharge was modeled using HEC-HMS and was used to correlate with water quality parameters using Pearson Correlation. Results show that discharge has a strong correlation with the total mercury (Pearson Correlation Coefficient = 0.728). However, based on the P-value of 0.101, there is no strong evidence that the intervention has an effect. The increase in the total mercury during high flows can be caused by the soil promoting run-off rather than infiltration which makes the contaminants mix with the surface water (Babiarz et al., 2012) Effluent quality.
