Buwis Buhay Fieldwork @Bued River

July 18, 2014

Last year, we conducted several 'buwis buhay' fieldwork to monitor the quality of surface waters of Bued River which passes through a small scale mining community. In one fieldwork, the team has to climb up and down 'apat na bundok' to collect wastewater samples, passing though dangerous ravines, cliffs and missing falling rocks.

Go team!
