  abstract = {{T}he watershed hydrologic conditions in the {M}adre de {D}ios ({MDD}) {B}asin in the {P}eruvian {A}mazon have been irreversibly impacted by deforestation and changes in land cover. {T}hese changes have also had detrimental effects on the geomorphology, water quality, and aquatic habitat within the basin. {H}owever, there is a scarcity of hydrological modeling studies in this area, primarily due to the limited availability of hydrometeorological data. {T}he primary objective of this study was to examine how deforestation impacts the hydrological conditions in the {MDD} {B}asin. {B}y implementing the {S}oil and {W}ater {A}ssessment {T}ool ({SWAT}) model, this study determined that replacing 12% of the evergreen broadleaf forest area with bare land resulted in a significant increase in surface runoff, by 38% monthly, a 1% annual reduction of evapotranspiration, and an average monthly streamflow increase of 12%. {C}hanges in spatial patterns reveal that the primary impacted watershed is the {I}nambari {R}iver subbasin, a significant tributary of the {M}adre de {D}ios {R}iver. {T}his area experiences an annual average surge of 187% in surface runoff generation while witnessing an annual average reduction of 8% in evapotranspiration. {T}hese findings have important implications, as they can contribute to instances of flooding and extreme inundation events, which have already occurred in the {MDD} region.},
