The purpose of this research work is to analyze the land-use planning instruments in the lower Ica River basin, the relationship that exists with the agro-export activity and urban population activities. The first document reviewed was the National Strategic Planning Center, which establishes the plans, indicators and strategies at the national level, which are linked to the plans that each institution must develop in order to achieve the established goal. In the same way, the supporting technical instruments, territorial and urban management instruments were reviewed, where the PAT and the PDU were promulgated after presenting delays according to the published chronogram. At the beginning of the agroexport boom in the old valley, there was no control or supervision of water resources by the authorities, so the problem of water scarcity increased exponentially as the years went by. It was not until the «closed zone» condition that the measures to preserve this resource were implemented and consequently, there was better control and supervision by ANA; however, one of the disadvantages of this authority is that it does not have the capacity to exercise a sanctioning function, since they only fulfill the supervisory role, as mentioned by a representative of the Water Administrative Authority (AAA Chaparra - Chincha) in a short interview. An interview was also conducted with a volunteer inhabitant from the district of Ica, who told of the shortages suffered by the inhabitants with respect to drinking water service, and also referred to the fact that they do not have an adequate service with respect to its quality and permanence, which would have repercussions on their health in the future.
