This research work focuses on the analysis of the traffic of maximum avenues of the Chinchaycocha reservoir, which is located between the departments of Junín and Pasco, being this the second largest lake in Peru. Lake Chinchaycocha is the source of supply for the Upamayo dam, which is in charge of distributing water resources to important hydroelectric plants in charge of supplying energy to a large part of Peru. The existence of this dam has been the cause of ecological and social conflicts since 1929, since the effect of the change in the reservoir brought with it problems of flooding of contaminated water in important production areas for the surrounding lake population. Given this situation, the methodology of this research is based on the collection of precipitation data to obtain data on maximum flows from statistical calculation methods and development of a hydrological model applying software programming that considers the 23 tributary sub-basins that they contribute flow to Lake Chinchaycocha. The research process begins by collecting the geographic, barometric and topographic information of the surroundings of the lake using the Geographic Information System (GIS) ArcMap10.1, with which the extension of the study area that includes Lake Chinchaycocha and all its tributary sub-basins, inter-basins, elevations and drainage networks. Other data collected include studies on geomorphological parameters, soil types, cover distribution, bathymetry and, most importantly, rainfall. The historical records used include maximum rainfall of 24 hours between the years 1965 and 2019, acquired by SENAMHI and the state company Electro Perú. This information is part of the input data for the HEC-HMS hydrological model, in which the Clark HU method was considered for the transformation of rain to runoff, the SCS curve number method for the model of losses by abstraction, the Kinematic Wave method for the transit of the main sub-basin and the storm frequency method for the meteorological model. Lastly, the Height-Storage method was used for return periods of 20, 100, 500 and 1000 years to complete the simulation of flood traffic. The results for the most critical simulated storm (return period of 1000 years) the cumulative peak inflow flow to Lake Chinchaycocha reaches 1877.5 m3/s, 15 hours after the storm started. However, the lamination of the flow in the water mirror causes the outflow through the weir to only reach 1,636 m3/s, which occurred 42 hours after the peak inflow. Said flow raises the level of the lake 18cm in excess of the maximum allowed by the lake regulations, causing an excess volume of 63.2 Million Cubic Meters and the flooding of up to 737.7 Hectares of dry land for agricultural production. Based on these results, the present study is in favor of the constant claims and demands of the communities affected by the flooding of productive lands. On the other hand, in the event of a large storm such as the simulated one, corrective measures must be carried out at the Upamayo dam within a period of less than 2 days in order to mitigate the impacts of the flood that occurred, although it is known that the dam is capable of . to receive much more flow, since the field studies carried out show the existence of old water marks higher than 4082.3 meters above sea level, more than double the increase calculated in the hydrological model. Therefore, it can be concluded that the simulated maximum flood transits do not represent a danger to the stability of the dam, but it is recommended to consider in future investigations return periods of up to 5000 years, if the possibility of failure is to be specifically analyzed at the Upamayo dam.
