Abstract
An analysis of semestral precipitation for the sixteen drainage areas of Buenos Aires province (Argentina) was performed. Precipitation daily data, for the period 1971–2010, were provided by the National Meteorological Service and the National Agronomic Technology. The test Mann-Kendall was applied and an Excel template (Makesens) was used for detecting and estimate trends. There were found significant statistical results for cold semester in some sectors: Northwestern area of the Salado River basin, Central area of the Salado River basin, Salado River mouth, Southern area of the Salado River basin and northern area of Vallimanca River basin, Southern area of the Salado and Vallimanca Rivers basins and Arrecifes River basin, Western Channels area at south of the Salado River basin, Region without surface drainage and Lagoon area at the Southwest, Small rivers and streams with Atlantic drainage and Basins and Streams of South (to west) for different periods and mostly decreasing. The sectors Southern area of the Salado and Vallimanca Rivers basins and Lagoon area at the Southwest were the only two with significant statistical results for the warm semester.
