It is inevitable to mention that the development of human activity has gone along with the exploitation of the natural resources that the planet supplies; nevertheless, the excessive and non-discriminate use of these will eventually cause an ecological imbalance that will translate into a shortage of elements that will meet the basic needs that the world population needs in nowadays. Mining, considered the jewel in the crown of Peru´s long-term economic development, has not only contributed to the progress of the most distant communities and settlements affected by the abandonment of the government, but has also prompted reflection on how to reduce the contamination and manage hydrological resources in a more responsible and appropriate manner. In this respect, the purpose of this work is to set the basis for future investigations that will seek to determinate the relationship between mining activity and the impacts it has on the consumption of the flow of the rivers near and close to the mine operations. The parameter that will enable us to gauge this relationship will be Ecological Flow (also known as Environmental Flow). This thesis will address the analysis, assessment, and implementation of the Tennant method to determinate the Ecological Flow of the Santa River, which for many years has been affected by mining activity. This research aims to work with hydrological methods, which have as the main input data the registers of daily, weekly, monthly or annual flow measurements. In this instance, the Santa River, which is part of the Pacific basin of the Pacific hydrographic region in the Ancash region of Peru, has a predominantly mining area and is therefore considered appropriate for conducting the mentioned study. Subsequently, with the defined methodologies and the validated field data, it will be possible to evaluate the results and define the impact of mining on the Ecological Flow of Santa River, where it will be confirmed that this industry does not demand a large-scale consumption of water resources and does not jeopardize the survival of the ecosystem of the basin being studied.
