Water quality is linked to public health issues, and its assessment allows for the formulation of policies and strategies for managing drinking water. The objective of this research was to evaluate the quality of drinking water sources supplying urban areas of La Libertad, Peru. The PICO systematic review methodology was used, with the inclusion criterion being research conducted within the last 10 years. The results show that pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved solids are related to the type of source - groundwater or surface water—and that their values depend on climatic and seasonal conditions, with a greater impact on surface water. It was concluded that significant differences exist in the quality of drinking water sources, and therefore, these are criteria that should be considered in the design of drinking water treatment plants.
