Manning's roughness coefficient is a characteristic parameter of conduction of special importance in river dynamics since it intervenes in the calculation of speeds and flows, which in turn are used in the prediction of water levels in rivers, times of floods, design of hydraulic structures and modeling of scenarios in general. This importance contrasts with the difficulty in its estimation since the variability in the characteristics of the different natural watercourses seems to affect their values. This difficulty has led in the last century to the development of empirical and semi-empirical equations, such as the Meyer-Peter-Müller, Raudkivi, Simon-Senturk equations, among others, which estimate the Manning coefficient based on a characteristic diameter. Due to their empirical or semi-empirical nature, these equations have a range of validity and cannot always be applied to Peruvian rivers. The objective of this research is to study the behavior of coastal rivers in central and southern Peru to develop an empirical equation to estimate Manning's roughness coefficient as a function of a characteristic diameter of the material. With this objective, the Chancay-Huaral, Cañete, Pisco and Quilca-Chili rivers were selected, considering the proximity and ease of access to carry out the necessary measurements and records. The applied methodology is based on the concepts of uniform flow through the equations of Chezy, Manning, and the distribution of velocities for a flow in hydraulically rough conduits, from whose analysis an expression of the Manning roughness coefficient “n” is obtained as a function of the absolute roughness height “k” and the hydraulic radius “R”. This equation was contrasted with measurements made in all the rivers mentioned and different diameters extracted from the granulometric curves of the beds were tested to define the characteristic diameter that best represents the absolute roughness. The results show that the diameter D95 better represents the roughness height, finding an equation of the form n = n(D95). Likewise, it was found that the analyzed rivers present a tendency to armoring of the bed and that, for these characteristics, there is dependence on the slope of the course and the hydraulic radius, finding a second equation with similar precision to the first. Finally, the two equations found were compared with the existing equations in the literature, showing greater precision for the rivers studied and becoming an important contribution to hydraulic engineering in Peru.
