This work aimed to propose a territorial zoning based on the physiographic and morphological characteristics of the Lower Chambo River Basin (LCRB), located at the Province of Chimborazo (Ecuador), as a tool for the water resources management. The methodology used included the following activities: estimation of recharge from the local aquifers using the water balance and Darcinian estimates methods, conceptual model of groundwater circulation, groundwater and springs sampling for physico-chemical, chemical and isotopic analyses, as well as the estimates of supply and demand and the possible conflicts generated by the use and distribution of water. The results allowed to identify the occurrence of three multilayer aquifers of volcanosedimentary origin (Llío-Guano, Riobamba and Yaruquíes), composed of volcanic deposits from eruptions of Chimborazo, Igualata, El Altar and Tungurahua. The recharge of those aquifers comes, mainly, from the western (Chimborazo and Igualata) and eastern (El Altar and Tungurahua) mountain range and, secondarily, comes from the local precipitation. The discharge zone of surface water and groundwater comprises the Chambo River, considered as the confluence area of the drainages located in LCRB. The hydrochemical and isotopic data ( 18 O and 2 H) indicated the existence of waters with different compositions and origin. The Llío-Guano and Riobamba aquifers are composed of calcium-magnesium bicarbonate waters, from slightly acidic to neutral, with enriched 18 O and 2 H values. The Yaruquíes aquifer and the springs located in Cubijíes settlement are constituted, respectively, of sodium bicarbonate to calcium-magnesium sulfate waters with more depleted 18 O and 2 H values, indicating influence of the volcanic activities from El Altar. The area was divided into eight distinct zones (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z8), with particular morphological and water availability characteristics. The zoning will serve as a reference for the elaboration of water resource management plans in the Riobamba municipality and other Ecuadorian provinces.
