The objetive of this research was to determine the level of eutrophication of the San Nicolás lagoon in the department of Cajamarca by remote sensing, for this, Landsat 5 and 8 satellite images were used for the years 1998, 2008 and 2019, to which index corrections and equations supported by the PCI Geomatics software were applied and calibrated with laboratory tests. Trophic status is evaluated by turbidity and chlorophyll “a” concentrations, followed by the most representative physicochemical and biological parameters of water quality. A significant correlation was obtained for turbidity (UNT) with satellite turbidity (r = 0.98), for cl-a and satellite turbidity (r = 0.86) and for the Secchi disk (transparency) and satellite cl-a (r = - 0.70). The results determined that according to Carlson's methodology and the trophic state index (TSI), the San Nicolás lagoon changes from eutrophic to mesotrophic status over a period of 20 years. Likewise, the classification of the EIT, for the Secchi disk (m) and cl-a (mg / L), places the San Nicolás lagoon in a mesotrophic state for 2019. On the other hand, the physicochemical parameters evaluated were found within Environmental quality standards for Category 4 (Conservation of the Aquatic Environment) of DS-004.2017 - MINAM, therefore, the mesotrophic state of the San Nicolás lagoon presents an intermediate level of nutrients that must be continuously monitored to predict eutrophication threats.
