    Linked to municipal water sources, the Cachipamba Ecological Park suffers from lack of water management due to climate change. The objective of this study is to propose a drip irrigation system integrated with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) to optimally use water, reduce the amount of runoff and improve resilience to climate change with a certain case study model for an urban green space in a semi-arid area. Methods: The approach used in this thesis was mixed, including: (1) analysis of available hydrological series (1976-2017) to determine maximum rainfall and return periods; (2) hydraulic modeling of the irrigation system with a flow rate of 45.89 m3/h (90% efficiency); (3) design of a SUDS that had capacity for extreme events (180 mm/h) and; (4) social assessment, conducted through workshops with local community members and by interviewing community experts. Results: The system demonstrated: (a) 36.03% potable water savings with rainwater harvesting; (b) effective storm management for a 100-year return period; (c) irrigation coverage of 16.67 mm every three days. The SUDS infrastructure proved to be able to infiltrate 40% of the runoff and improve water quality (85% solids removal). Discussion and conclusions: The results confirm the success of integrated systems for sustainable water management in urban areas. Although continuous monitoring is necessary to observe and maintain biological parameters, the design outperforms conventional alternatives in terms of climate adaptability and efficiency. Future research will need to study the long-term impacts on biodiversity, as well as its replicability in other urban contexts.
