Abstract: M ultivariate statistical techniques w ere applied to daily rainfall data obtained from 120 different stations in the Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta regions, in the northwestern part of the Italian territory. These techniques made it possible to subdivide the stations being considered into 12 homogeneous groups, each of which can be represented by a single station. An excellent agreement was found to exist between the areas identified with these methods and those identifable on the basis of the hydrologic and morphological features of the territory being considered. These findings confirm the usefulness of the results obtained in the regionalisation of hydrologic data.
