The present thesis aims to determine the soil loss in the basin of the Aguada Blanca reservoir, applying the USLE method and geospatial techniques. The different levels of erosion have been determined in two geospatial models. The first one named MC78 properly calibrated and based on the USLE and NDVI method of satellite image 2014 and the second model called MC80 based on USLE and Landsat images of 2001. With similar methods it was determined the map of the retrospective model of the erosion of the basin and its relation with the sedimentation of the reservoir under three phases; The first one concerning the map of erosion occurred between 2002 and 2006, the second referring to erosion 2006 - 2010 and the third one of 2010 - 2015; A prospective model with conservation activities was formulated. The results show the consistent value of coefficients of factor: rain “R“, erodability “K“ and vegetation cover “C“ (calibrated with r2> 80 percent). The MC80 model expressed an average annual rate of 128.96 T / ha / year, while the MC78 model had an average rate of 145.50 T / ha / year; Showing an erosive basin with a trend towards desertification, which is above the erosion pattern recommended by ICONA (1991) of 12.5 T / ha / year and FAO 11.2 T / ha / year. Erosion levels were differentiated in each of the three stages of the erosion process of the reservoir basin, phase I reached an average erosion rate of 125.15 T / ha / year, phase II 154.94 T / ha / year And phase III 162.73 T / ha / year, revealing an upward trend of 30 percent. In a desired scenario with the increase of its vegetation cover (M78-C1), its average erosion rate would decrease by 28% (116.74 T / ha / year); Reducing the average annual sedimentation rate of the reservoir from 0.42 Hm3 / year to 0.30 Hm3 / year and extending its operation from 17 to 23 years (with 75 percent of the useful volume).
