The main objective of the study was to evaluate the seasonal variation of the water content in the soil through a comparative analysis of the daily water balance in two evaluation sites, an area of natural grassland intervened with Pinusradiata plantations and another intervened with infiltration trenches in the sectors of Tayacoto and Shillquil, respectively, in the province of Huaraz, department of Áncash, Perú. For this, the variables of precipitation, temperature and volumetric soil moisture were directly measured (up to 1 m, at Tayacoto; y, 0,7 m, at Shillquil). Effective precipitation (PE) and surface runoff (ES) were estimated by the curve number method (NC). Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated using the Penman-Monteith equation, while total evapotranspiration (ET) and percolation (Per) were measured directly. The first as a consequence of the change in the storage of water in the soil (ΔST), and the second, from values above the maximum storage capacity of the soil. The results show that in the Tayacoto sector, only the pajonal presented Per during the study period, due to the higher consumption of water from the soil of the Pinus radiata plantation. In the case of storage, both in the dry period (U = 1783,5; p < 0,001) and wet (U = 213; p < 0,001) there were also significant differences in favor of the grassland with a very large effect size (r = 0,84 and 0,86). In the case of the Shillquil sector, there were no statistically significant differences (t(54) = 1,74; p = 0,087; d = 1,60; d Cohen = 0,43; IC 95% [-0,24; 3,44]) in the daily Per values between infiltration trenches and grasslands. Storage was better in the ditch for the wet period (U = 8107; p < 0,001) and the grassland had a better performance (U = 17070,5; p = 0,039) during the dry season, both with small effects (r = 0,25 and 0,10). It is concluded that the storage of water in the soil, as well as the formation of gravitational water and percolation, has been better in the grasslands than in the pine plantation. Likewise, the results have not made it possible to visualize the expected effect or impact of the infiltration trenches on these variables, which in theory were expected with higher values, but the results show insignificant differences with respect to the grassland.
