Introduction
One of the basic needs of man in order to survive is water. It is actually, one of
the most important substance on earth and an important element for one’s health. It may
be found everywhere but it doesn’t mean that all existing water can be useful to us.
People at present are now fully aware and conscious of the essential of good
drinking water. They are now aware of some contaminants, disinfection by-products from
the chlorination process, taste, and odor brought about by the unsanitary pipes delivering
water from the source to their respective households thus some of them resorted to
patronizing water refilling stations that are abundantly growing in the community.
Currently, thousands of water refilling stations spot the Philippine landscape and
community sources, where consumers would bring containers and fill them for a per-
gallon fee that is a small fraction of commercially bottled water’s cost. Demand is such
that most stores now offer home delivery for regular customers. It brings so much
comfort to the household believing that all of them could offer the best and safest supply
With the proliferating presence of these water stations, the researcher would dug
on some factors within the parameter of its lush growth in the community as an essential
need.
Statement of the Problem:
Generally, this study will focus on the factors that affect the growth of water
1. What are the profile of the existing water stations in Catarman, Northern
c. Income
2. What are the factors that affect the growth of water stations in the
municipality of Catarman?
3. What are the implications of the growth of water station in the same
municipality?
c. Income
2. Determine the factors that affect the growth of water stations in the
Northern Samar.
