This research was conducted in response to the need to develop and implement adaptation strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change in the Yauca watershed. In addition, there are no hydrological studies with WEAP that include the effects of climate change in future scenarios. This watershed is politically located between the departments of Ayacucho and Arequipa. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to evaluate surface water availability in the Yauca river basin under different climate change scenarios, using the WEAP hydrological simulation model for the period from 2025 to 2050. For the selection of the CMIP6 climate change scenarios, 5 Global Circulation Models (GCM) were highlighted. From the projection of the GCMs, different future scenarios were obtained for the period 2024 - 2050 with water supplies fluctuating between 99.61 hm³/year and 205.54 hm³/year. In contrast, for the historical period from 1965 to 2023, the average water supply is 175.27 hm³/year. Currently, the historical average flow is 5.56 m³/s, while future projections suggest an average flow of 4.68 m³/s. For the horizon analyzed, an agricultural demand of 109.73 MMC and a population demand of 5.04 MMC were determined. In addition, the maximum water deficit was predicted in December with 14.00 MMC and the minimum in May with 1.96 MMC. Finally, the estimated annual water deficit for the future scenario is 67.28 MWC, which represents a 20.99% increase compared to the current scenario.
