A quantitative study on the drinking water from groundwater sources was conducted in Tuba, Benguet, from October, 1992 to April, 1993.Four sampling stations were set up in which samples were collected and tested for their physico-chemical characteristics that ensure safety for human consumption. Results indicate that nitrate averaged from 0.28-0.50 mg/L phosphate 0.05 - 0.17 mg/L conductivity 927.50 umhos total hardness 204.50-245.00 CaC03 mg/L alkalinity 0.00312-0.00400 mg/L dissolved oxygen 7.76 mg/L total solids 0.110-0.591 mg/L temperature 23.25 C pH 7.60 salinity 0.00 mg/L. Comparing these values with government and international standards, all parameters considered were within the tolerable limits.
