  BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A. Environmental
B. Over the past several decades, there is a big changes in our environment, wherein
innumerable trees were cut and that would be one of the reasons why clean drinking water is
slowly disappearing and sad to say that it is insufficient to supply the growing population.
According to our grandparents, during their times, clean drinking water was abundant due to
numerous trees. It proves that planting and taking care trees can help to have a sustainable clean
drinking water.
C. The reason for conducting this research is to resolve the problem involving the lack of
clean drinking water and to prove that trees can help about it.

 PRELIMINARY LITERATURE REVIEW

A tree is designed to hold clean water. Acting like a sponge, trees can filter out impurities
in water before it passes back out through their leaves or roots. The debris of trees also
becomes a part of the process as decomposing leaves form soil and provide the structure for
natural filtration to occur.
Trees regulate the water cycle. The water cycle is the process by which water falls to the
ground as rain. It’s then absorbed by trees and other plants, the released back into the air as
transpiration. Trees regulate the water cycle which provide the fresh water we rely on to stay
alive. The world has establish a natural rhythm when it comes to the water cycle.
Deforestation severely disrupts this cycle and can put our supplies of fresh water in trouble.
Trees also help to save water because of the shade they provide, water will evaporate
slowly from low vegetation.
Healthy, well-managed natural forest provides us with crisp, fresh drinking water. When
these forests are neglected or destroyed the quality of our drinking water supply is negatively
affected. Much of our fresh water is underground, and without forest these water resources
will dry up and cease to exist. Rainfall is absorbed by the forests, and is cleansed and cooled
as it travels through the forest, after which it the refills underground aquifers.

 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM/OBJECTIVES

A. Insufficient clean drinking water for an uprising population.
B. Questions to be answered by the participants.
1. Do you believe that trees help us to have a sustainable clean drinking water? In
what way? Can you prove it to us?
2. Is it true that trees help in producing clean drinking water?
 METHODOLOGY
A. The participants for this research are some adults including; Senior Citizen, Parents,
etc., environmentalist and farmers.
B. For this research, we will gather some information about the topic from the internet
and we will conduct an interview.
C. We will ask those participants using our questionnaire. The answers will be
thoroughly analyzed.
