Abstract: This study was conducted to understand the health and sanitation practices of the residents of Balcon Maravilla located near to Sor-ohan watershed at Jordan, Guimaras. Respondents of the study were the household members residing in Balcon Maravilla, Jordan, Guimaras nearest the Sor-ohan sub-watershed. Only 15% of the population was selected as sample size. Stratified random sampling was used in selecting the sample respondents. Random sampling was then used to select a sufficient number of subjects from each stratum. For drinking, respondents utilized refilling stations (34%), springs (31%), dug wells (16%), and artesian wells (13%). For cooking and washing, springs (44%) are the most utilized source of water and dug wells (40%) are the most second common source. There is a heavy reliance on wood and charcoal (97%) as the primary fuel for cooking. For lighting, it reveals that the majority of households (76%) rely on electricity, with minimal use of kerosene lamps (3%). The majority of waste is collected by garbage collectors (86%), with a smaller percentage of households relying on practices like burning (6%), using dump pits (5%), or composting/burning (4%).
