ThThe present paper analyzed the relationship between streamflow and rainfall at the stream of Itapemirim River Watershed (BHRI). The minimum streamflow with duration of seven days (Q 7 ), the average annual streamflow (Q med ) and the annual maximum streamflow (Q max ) of 11 BHRI’s sub-basins were determined. Trends in rainfall and streamflow series were analyzed with Mann-Kandall and Pettitt nonparametric tests. Regression analysis between rainfall and streamflow were established. Results showed no trends on rainfall and Q 7 series. Trends in Q med were found only at one sub-basin and trends in Q max were found in two sub-basins. The total rainfall was correlated with the streamflow of all the sub-basins. It has been found that annual rainfall amount (Pa) explained considerably variations in Q med and Q 7 . Rainfall amounts of the rainiest month (P max ) showed good correlation to Q max .
