This research seeks to apply a participatory science model in the rural community of Cordillera Blanca to generate information on the quality of natural water sources as a community tool for the proper management of water resources. For this purpose, training will be provided in the use of the mobile application "Aqua Biosmart", based on the presence or absence of benthic macroinvertebrates, which allows identifying contamination points and transmitting them remotely. Communities in high Andean areas, use natural wáter sources directly for consumption and productive activities, so continuous monitoring of water quality is essential. Therefore, it is important to provide tools that make it possible to easily and effectively evaluate water quality conditions and make decisions on its best use. In this sense, the participation and training of the local population in the use of these monitoring tools is indispensable. The most commonly used method to assess water quality is physicochemical analysis, which provides timely information on environmental conditions at the time of sampling, but not on the effects of such conditions on the aquatic ecosystem. Therefore, one way to characterize the overall health of ecosystems is through biological methods, which allows to summarize the effects of pollution or other environmental stressors through biodiversity-based indices. In this regard, the use of benthic macroinvertebrates as indicators of water quality has shown great efficiency in detecting points of environmental alteration and ecological integrity in diverse aquatic systems. Participatory science is a methodology that involves the local population in the monitoring of environmental variables through didactic training in the use of different strategies that bring long-term benefits to the community.
