Frequency analysis is usually used in hydrology for the possibility and scale of discharge extremes, especially low flows or flood features of concrete gauge. The paper presents a frequency analysis carried out on a 51 year period (1961-2011) series of maximum annual discharge, on Kazani karst spring gauge station. The time series were non-homogenous according to Cumulative deviations test (Q = 1.531) and Standard normal homogeneity test ( = 10.543). After adjusting of annual maximum discharges (AMD) before the year of change (1995), with using AnClim software, the frequency analysis was made using four probability distributions. Obtained results show possibility of karst spring flood occurrence for different return periods. After their calculation the best fitting distribution was chosen using graphical and statistical testing between empirical and theoretical data distribution. According to the spring significance for nature and humanity, it was crucial to choose a right probability distribution for annual maximum discharges of Kazani karst spring. Therefore, a comparison using graphical and statistical testing (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, χ2 and Anderson-Darling test) was made. The best fit according to three tests was the Gumbel distribution with AMD of 4.54 m3/s for return period of 10 years, 6.06 m3/s for return period of 100 years and 7.56 m3/s for return period of 1000 years, respectively. Key words: karst spring, annual maximum discharge, hydrology, homogeneity, frequency analysis. Ocena maksimalnih letnih pretokov s frekvencno analizo s stirimi verjetnostnimi porazdelitvami v primeru nehomogenih casovnih serij (kraski izvir Kazani v Republiki Makedoniji) Obicajno uporabljamo v hidrologiji frekvencno analizo za oceno verjetnosti in velikosti ekstremnih pretokov, se posebej nizkih tokov ali poplavnih znacilnosti na dolocenih merilnih mestih. V clanku je predstavljena frekvencna analiza, ki je bila izvedena na seriji maksimalnih letnih pretokov izmerjenih na merilni postaji na kraskem izviru Kazani v obdobju 51 let (1961-2011). Glede na rezultate testa kumulativnih odklonov (Q = 1,531) in testa SNHT ( = 10,543) je casovna serija nehomogena. Po prilagoditvi letnih maksimalnih pretokov pred letom spremembe (1995) z uporabo programske opreme AnClim je bila izvedena frekvencna analiza z uporabo stirih verjetnostnih porazdelitev. Dobljeni rezultati kažejo na verjetnost pojava poplav na kraskem izviru za razlicne povratne dobe. Po izracunu so bile z uporabo graficnih in statisticnih primerjav med empiricno in teoreticno razporeditvijo podatkov dolocene porazdelitve z najboljsim ujemanjem. Ker je izvir naravna vrednota in pomemben vir za družbo, je zelo pomembno izbrati ustrezno verjetnostno porazdelitev za maksimalne letne pretoke kraskega izvira Kazani. Zato je bila izvedena primerjava z uporabo graficnih in statisticnih testov (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, χ2 in Anderson-Darling). Najboljse ujemanje glede na te tri teste je bilo doseženo pri Gumbelovi porazdelitvi z maksimalnim letnim pretokom 4,54 m3/s za povratno dobo 10 let, 6,06 m3/s za povratno dobo 100 let in 7,56 m3/s za povratno dobo 1000 let. Kljucne besede: kraski izvir, maksimalni letni pretok, hidrologija, homogenost, frekvencna analiza.
