Abstract

Pollution and at the same time water scarcity is considered one of the main concerns throughout the world. In Peru, most of its hydrographic basins are affected by pollution from productive and domestic activities. The present investigation sought to analyze the significant growth in pollution of the Moche River in the period 2010 to 2020; For this purpose, a descriptive study was carried out, using documentary analysis by recording data from the years 2010 - 2020 from entities such as the National Water Authority and other related studies; thereby determining that the pollution of the Moche River has not been reduced in the study period; On the contrary, the existence of chemicals, minerals and bacteria in water have increased exponentially in recent years. Faced with this, there are no encouraging prospects for a solution in the current decade; the political will of the authorities and greater participation and leadership of other representative organizations of the region and also raising citizen awareness through teaching in educational institutions and the media.
