The statistical characteristics of the accuracy of regression analyses as used in surface water regionalization are investigated by simulating logarithmic regressions of the streamflow parameters, mean and standard deviation, derived from synthetic streamflow sequences. Accuracy is measured in terms of equivalent years of at site record. A procedure for the design of surface water data networks that accounts for the statistical nature of the estimates of parameter accuracy is presented.
