    The objective of this study was to develop a hydraulic contingency plan for frost in the Tunga - San Pedro collective irrigation project, Acequia Mocha Huachi. The project is located at coordinates X: 765,500 Y: 9,849,000, has 125.67 ha distributed in 344 lots belonging to 216 families located in 10 irrigation sectors, of this area there are 8.50 ha (6.76%) without water use rights, 9.52 ha with drip irrigation (7.58%) and 107.65 ha (85.66%) with sprinkler irrigation. The proposal was to prepare: Cadastral update, hydraulic distribution diagrams, maps of ice-producing sites, maps of crops susceptible to frost, hydraulic simulation in IRRICAD and a proposal for opening hydrants. The hydraulic diagram defined an oversizing of the main pipeline, where, for the 9 irrigation sectors, a flow of 140.99 l/s can be carried by means of the operation of a 4,200 m3 buffer reservoir, while the operating flow rate is 56.33 l/s (282 sprinklers with a flow rate of 0.2 l/s). In addition, sector 10, which operates through a forebay, has an operating flow rate of 5 l/s (25 sprinklers). It is worth mentioning that, there are 65.75 ha that are susceptible to frost, said surface area is distributed mostly in sectors 2 and 10, in this sense, the ice-making lots are 153 (50.50%). In addition, the most susceptible crops (strawberry, corn, blackberry and potatoes) to frost are present in 26.94 ha (22.99%), moderately susceptible crops (peas, onions, fruit trees, beans and carrots) are found in 19.98 ha (17.05%) and the least susceptible crops (alfalfa, grass and fallow land) with 70.25 ha (59.96%). The hydraulic contingency plan for sectors 1 through 9 is to open 18 lots with a flow rate of 52.20 l/s, with 261 sprinklers operating simultaneously, covering 3.19 ha. For sector 10, the flow rate is 4.60 l/s, with 23 sprinklers operating simultaneously, and a surface area of 0.28 ha. The proposed hydraulic contingency plan is based on seven shifts for sectors 1 through 9 and 17 shifts for sector 10, each with 10-minute openings
