The study investigated the solid waste management practices among the five barangays in Sogod, Southern Leyte. It described the potability of water in relation to their waste management practices. The presence of coliforms in the water samples examined indicated contamination of the drinking water in the study area, hence not fit for human consumption. The solid waste management practices of the five Barangays in Sogod in conformity with the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act were not practiced by most of the selected respondents who instead preferred direct dumping method to available space without considering the proximity of the well.
