The CLMN
The CLMN is a
cooperative program combining the technical resources of CLEAR (
Conservation of Laguna de Bay's
Environment and Resources) and the volunteer efforts of the communities lakewide who
collect water quality data on their side of the lake. It requires minimal time and
expense, yet it can provide data that is essential for achieving the goals of lakewater
quality management.
The CLMN is a cost-effective mechanism for obtaining good basic
water quality data on lakes. It is not intended to replace the existing monitoring
activities of LLDA, it is just meant to complement it and at the same time use the
activity as a means to communicate the importance of the Lake. |
Why a CLMN?
|
Information
about the water quality of the Lake is vital for assessing their physical condition and
use suitability.
|
|
These data
are used to analyze water quality trends, characterize trophic status, and provide basis
for water quality goal-setting.
|
|
The
participation of community volunteer monitors in the CLMN effectively increases the
monitoring capabilities of the lake authorities. Through this process, the communities can
learn about water quality of the Lake in their area and gain greater awareness of the
causes and effects of lake degradation.
|
|
The CLMN's Objectives
The CLMN is aimed at harnessing the potential of
lakeshore communities in monitoring the water quality of Laguna de Bay. Specifically, it
is also aimed to help increase the awareness of the community of the importance of the
lake in their daily lives. |
