Water resources are a problem in the San Martín region, reaffirming the purpose of directing actions towards an integrated management, with a territorial approach to respond to climate change. The objective was to demonstrate that the trilogy (AAE) water, agriculture and energy through econometric calculation is related to economic growth. Type of basic research, under the non-experimental-correlational research design. The water footprint was used to indicate the availability of water resources, allowing changing opinions regarding water scarcity linked to food and energy security in the region. A multiple linear econometric model was established to compare the relationship between the availability of water resources, agricultural productivity, energy supply and economic growth in the San Martín region, applying the ordinary least squares method. The regression shows that there is a coefficient of determination equal to 97.09%, showing that economic growth is explained by the availability of water resources, agricultural productivity and energy supply, and there is also a strong relationship between these variables since a correlation coefficient of 0.98532 is determined between economic growth and the other variables.
