This research address with the analysis, evaluation and application of the methods to determine the ecological flow in the Rimac river basin. Hydrological, hydraulic and habitat simulation methods were developed directly, and in general, the other existing methods are analyzed. On the one hand, the hydrological method describes a procedure, performing various statistical treatments of the series of representative natural flows (analysis of time series, historical flows, minimum and maximum temperatures, etc.) On the other hand, for the hydraulic method a critical section was chosen and a general characterization of the study area was carried out, a topographic survey was developed, together with the hydraulic measurements (area, depth, wet perimeter, etc.) and the flow in cross sections representative, classified by their biotic sensitivity. Similarly, with the modeling of the aquatic habitat, one-dimensional hydraulic models of depths and velocities are used, whose simulations in the representative cross-sections are related in an adequate way with the preference criteria of the main hydro-biological variables that determine the habitat for the different organisms and their states of life, in this case the species is the river silverside. The results indicate that, for the hydrological method, the ecological flows obtained are adapted to the reality of the Rimac River and meet the water pressure for different points of the basin such as Río Blanco, San Mateo, Santa Eulalia and Chosica. Likewise, the hydraulic and habitat simulation method ensures an optimal ecological flow downstream of Chosica, as long as the existing sources of contamination are reduced.
