The removals of sediments are very importance, in the water clarification process, for esthetic reasons and relation with taste and odor compounds. The freshwater quality monitoring is carried out from February to August 2018, and four sampling stations were set up disposed in Cuchoquesera reservoir. Parameters measured were, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, pH, color, turbidity and sludge volume. The results indicate that all parameters studied exceed the established limits, except for electrical conductivity (190 μS/cm) and total dissolved solids (255 mg/L). It was to determine the best coagulant and floculant combination in addition to their optimal dosages in order to evaluate sediments removal from Cuchoquesera reservoir water by physicochemical processes. Coagulation (during rainy season) were evaluated (ferric chloride, ferrous sulfate and aluminum sulfate) as coagulants; and two natural flocculants of tuna´s powder (Opuntia ficus indica), of tara gum (Caesalpinia spinoza). For each coagulant-flocculant combination, jar tests were carried out at the same mixing conditions and by following a central composite design (CCD), which design factors, were the coagulant and flocculant doses, and initial turbidity. Mathematical models adjusted to experimental results were obtained, which were used to estimate the optimal chemicals dosages and final values of response variables. For treating a raw surface water with 150 NTU and 137 U Pt-Co, an aluminum sulfate coagulant (27,9 mg/L) combined with of tara gum flocculant (3 mg/L) allowed to obtain the minimum values of 1,7 NTU and 3,2 U Pt-Co, respectivement. Based on reagents doses, a cost of 0,22 USD/m3 was estimated for this combination. Drought season were removal so that algae as chlorophyll-a (a green pigment found in algae); it wasn’t in the water.
