The present work sought to quantify the economic value corresponding to the loss of certain ecosystem services in a section of the Rímac River. The delimitation of the study area was carried out, which was located close to the “Vía Expresa Línea Amarilla“ project. In addition, the characterization of this area was carried out through field visits and surveys of residents. With this information, the ecosystem services currently present in the study area and those that were lost over time due to environmental damage were identified. After identifying the ecosystem services, a socio-environmental analysis was carried out, with the aim of identifying the most relevant ecosystem services for economic valuation. The economic valuation of ecosystem services was carried out using the transfer of benefits method, specifically, through the transfer of adjusted unit value. As a result, a total economic value of almost six hundred thousand soles (S/ 589,546.04) was obtained in 2021, equivalent to a monthly loss per family of more than twenty soles (S/ 22.59). Despite the fact that the loss of the economic value found is due to the effects on some ecosystem services of the Rímac River within the study area, a marked social factor of carelessness and normalization towards the inadequate conditions in the Rímac River was also identified, accompanied by indifference on the part of the authorities, which hinders initiatives and concrete actions to reverse the situation.
