Currently, sophisticated hydrology models have become into an indispensable tool to analyze complex hydrology aspects. In this thesis, It has been analyzed the effect of grid size variation, that represents geometrically the Cañete river basin with an area of 5793.2 km2, based on calibrated simulations using the hydrological distributed model named TOPKAPI. The main objective was how to propose the basic criteria to determine the optimum cell size or quadrant, which a basin from the coastal region of Peru can be discretized. The methodological steps carried out for this research have been: Selection of a basin of study, hydrometeorological stations and period of analysis. Completion and correction of hydrometeorological data. Hydrological analysis based on digital elevation models (DEM) and obtaining maps of soil type and land uses derived by geographic information systems (GIS). Implementation of distributed hydrological model TOPKAPI in the basin of study and involved sub-basins using gauging stations located within the main basin. Calibration of the model parameters, focusing on achieving appropriate results of goodness-of-fit tests, mainly in the correlation coefficient and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency. Finally, the sensitivity analysis was performed by means of calibrated simulations for each of six scenarios with different grid sizes. The goodness-of-fit tests were analyzed and finding out that a suitable grid size for the basin of study is 1000 m. The modelling results of calibration and validation were highly satisfactory, values of goodness-of-fit tests are within the recommended range. In addition to this, it was concluded that a smaller grid not necessarily performances a better congruence between their output hydrographs and measured data from gauging stations, on the contrary it reflected inconvenient results.
