The erosive processes are very important in the Sierra region of Ecuador, especially in the province of Loja (southern Ecuadorian Andes), where water erosion rates are very high. For this reason, this investigation was carried out in order to verify how the land use changes the affect of the water erosion, by performing quantitative and qualitative estimations through the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) and the water erosion geospatial models, respectively. The methodology used is as follows; the water erosion rates were expressed as stipulated by the FAO, UNEP and UNESCO in Rome, 1980. First, the vegetation cover was analyzed multi-temporally (1997, 2017, 2037) using the Land Change Modeler module of the Idrisi Selva software, with the purpose of obtaining a projection of the coverage for the year 2037 according to the change trends. Second, the water erosion geospatial model was developed using GIS, integrating the physical, socio-economical and land-use conflict submodels, each with their degree of participation in the water erosion. In addition, each submodel consisted of different variables that presented a higher incidence in the studied process. Third, for the quantitative estimation, both the actual and potential water erosion were calculated according to RUSLE. The actual water erosion was developed integrating its five factors: Erosivity (R), erodability (K), vegetation cover (C), slope and slope length factor (LS) and conservation practices (P). And for the potential erosion was designed under two scenarios: (a) The factor R, K, LS and C were integrated (the projection for the year 2037 was used). Scenario (b) The factor R, K, LS, actual vegetation cover, and the different conservation practices (contour, strip and terraced cultivation) were integrated. Fourth, the correlation between both methodologies was analyzed using the linear regression ecuation using the kappa coefficient (0.82), the Cramer (0.74) and Moran indexes (0.98 and 0.99). The results obtained with both methodologies had a high correlation (R2 = 0.84). Moreover, it was evidenced that the actual average of hydraulic erosion of the Catamayo River subwatershed is 407.53 t/ha/year, indicating a very strong type erosion.
