Abstract

Mining is an extremely important industry for Peru. However, its environmental impacts can be harmful, especially if they affect bodies of water near communities. In this sense, new environmental management instruments are being implemented. In this work, the ecological flow of a river affected by mining activity will be evaluated using the Tennant-Montana method. Taking the Santa River basin as a case study, the results showed that mining does not represent an activity that represents an exhaustive demand for water in the evaluated basin
