Physico-chemical assessment of the Jalaur River system, Iloilo, Philippines
(Silliman University, 2010-01)
The Jalaur River System was studied for the quality of its water because water quality is a significant and powerful determinant of the health of aquatic ecosystems. This study aimed at investigating the physico-chemical parameters, nutrient load, heavy metal concentrations and pesticide residues of the Jalaur River system. One of the purposes of this study was to develop a database on the seasonal changes in these river characteristics.
Quantitative samples of water, sediments, algae and fish were collected and analyzed during the rainy season (July-September 2009) and the dry season (January-March 2010) from five sampling stations representing upstream, midstream and downstream sections of the 123-kilometer long river. Based on the water quality standard and water classification adopted by the DENR, the Jalaur River stretch can be classified as class C and D. Class C water is for propagation and growth of aquatic resources while class D water is for agriculture, irrigation, livestock watering, and industrial cooling and processing.
The detected levels of metal contamination, mainly Cr, and Pb, in sediments of Jalaur River were found to exceed the geochemical background or threshold levels. Lead and chromium were also detected in filamentous algae (lumot), Azolla, and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) sampled at Moroboro sampling site. No organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids pesticides were detected at the detection limit of the analyses for both water and sediment samples.
The deterioration in the physico-chemical quality and rise in the nutrient levels observed in this study is alarming, and periodic monitoring and preventive measures are required to save the aquatic system of eutrophication. Heavy metal contamination of bottom sediments, algae and fish samples is also a cause for alarm because these heavy metals pose threats to human health. The finidngs have important implications for the development of effective water management strategies and as guide to remediation of efforts for the Jalaur River system....

Palay: From the paddy to the plate
(Center for West Visayan Studies, 1994)
Palay or rice (Oryza sativa) has been the staple food crop of the Philippines for centuries. As far as historical records show, Iloilo has been one of the leading provinces in the production of palay. When the Spaniards first came to the Philippines in the 16th century, they noted that Panay, particularly Iloilo, was the granary of the archipelago. However, after the port of Iloilo was opened to world commerce in 1855, sugar became the chief export crop of West Visayas, and some areas of riceland in Iloilo were converted to sugarland. The census of 1903 revealed that Iloilo ranked only No. 9 as a rice-producing province. But Iloilo was not to be outdone for long; in 1970, it gained the No. 1 place and has maintained that position up to the present.
Since this conference focuses on the history and culture of West Visayas from 1900 to the present, we shall dwell on the production and preparation of rice from the paddy to the plate for the past 90 years among the people in the lowlands of Iloilo....
