Résumé

The aim of regional frequency analysis (RFA) is to estimate extreme hydrological events at sites where little or no hydrological data are available. The delineation of sub-regions and the regional estimation within these sub-regions are the two main steps of RFA. As currently practiced, the delineation step is unrobust and subjective. To overcome these limitations, the present paper aims to propose a new robust approach for delineating homogeneous sub-regions. The proposed approach is objective and based on the concept of depth function. A data set from three geographical regions in the North-West of Italy is used to apply and compare the proposed approach with a traditional one. Results indicate that the proposed depth-based approach leads to more homogeneous sub-regions in terms of H heterogeneity measure, and leading to more efficient quantile estimations in terms of relative bias and relative root mean square error, than those obtained by the traditional approach.
