In the present investigation hydrological changes were assessed considering possible changes in precipitation and regulation projects developed in the basin to improve the water supply of the Vilcanota River, which is the main source of water of Cusco region. To achieve this objective, daily hydrologic information of the km-105 station and monthly rainfall information related to 19 stations were collected. Trend (Mann-Kendall, Linear regression and Spearman Rho test) and distribution (Cusum test) analysis of flow and precipitation series were assessed. Subsequently, the Ecoflow and Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IAH) methods were applied for the characterization and quantification of the hydrological change in the basin, considering for the analysis, a natural period (1965-1987) and an altered period (1988-2016). The results show variations in the flow seasonality of the altered period in relation to the natural period. The Ecoflow assessment shows an increase in flows (eco-surplus) during the dry season (JJA, SON) and a decrease in flows during the rainy season in the altered period in contrast to the natural period, with a behavior opposite to precipitation. Similar result was obtained by IHA method, attributed to the regulation in the basin during that period. The Ecoflow method and IAH are complementary and facilitate the assessment of the changes in the flow regime of the Vilcanota River.
