Human occupation and its productive activities give rise to changes in coverage, which affect ecosystem services and specifically water regulation services. The upper basin of the Chinchiná River is a basin that has presented changes in its vegetation covers and this change affected its water regulation system, this conclusion was reached by carrying out the multi-temporal analysis of the covers and the hydrological analysis through the construction of the flow duration curves for the years with geospatial information. Among the results, it was found that, due to its initial conditions in the characteristics of the soil and vegetation cover, the upper basin of the Chinchiná River does not have a good capacity to regulate surface runoff, a fact that is aggravated by the expansion dynamics of the herbaceous and pasture covers during the study years. The knowledge of the relationship between changes in coverage and the regulation of surface runoff, allows projecting the appropriate use of the land in order not to further affect the capacity to regulate surface runoff that serves as the foundation of biodiversity, supply of the city of Manizales.
