This research work was carried out in the area of environmental influence of the Corihuarmi mining unit, whose area of influence is politically located between the departments of Lima and Junín, and hydrologically belongs to the Atlantic slope, in the Mantaro river basin. The work was carried out through the application of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE, for its acronym in English, Universal Soil Loss Equation), likewise a geospatial model was applied with the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools, with which the areas vulnerable to water erosion were identified according to the classification of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO); Following this, according to the degree of water erosion potential, alternatives for protection and/or soil management were proposed. The first phase of the study consisted of obtaining information on the study area, such as copies of the environmental impact study and its modifications, thematic information on soils, vegetation cover, weather stations, geology, physiography, and national charts. The second phase focused on the development of field work, identifying the type of vegetation cover with its coordinates WGS84 Zone 18 South, accesses, economic activities and practices of soil use and management. The third phase consisted of the processing of the information obtained in phase one and phase two, the digital processing and subsequent modeling of the physical parameters that are part of the USLE were carried out, resulting in a thematic map of the spatial distribution of the potential of soil loss due to water erosion, noting that water erosion is more influenced by plant cover and slope than by precipitation and soil type.
