The objective was to determine the ecological status of the riparian zone of the channel of the Moronacocha Lagoon, based on the Riparian Quality Index (RQI) method proposed by Gonzalez del Tánago et al. (2006). The results show that the riparian zone along the right side of the channel is more degraded in its attributes to the structure of vegetation with a very poor ecological status due to its proximity to the water intake of Sedaloreto and the population that impact negatively on it. On the other hand, the riparian zone along the left side of the channel is less degraded despite the selective extraction of forest species for rural housing with a regular status because its optimum conditions for the natural regeneration of the riparian vegetation and condition of the riverbanks. In conclusion, for both riverbanks of the channel, the RQI value was 56,03, corresponding a poor ecological status of the riparian zone. In order to restore the hydrological and ecological functionality of the riparian zone on both sides of the channel, a comprehensive management strategy is proposed focusing on the rehabilitation of this important ecosystem.
