Abstract

Rimac river supplies superficial and below ground water to Lima city, its 30 km by 20 km evacuation cone is composed by a fluvial permeable soil from antique Quaternary. It is made of compacted sedimentary rock older than Quaternary date (lower and middle upper Cretaceous). In order to increase the Rio Rimac’s caudal, water from Huacracocha Lagoon (between Ticlio and Morococha) may be taken with a 3.5 km S78º W tunnel. The other project may be the collection of part of Mantaro river’s waters with a 45.4 Km S61º30’W tunnel.
