Abstract
In the first of two papers the development of two statistical tests of region homogeneity for use in regional flood frequency analysis is described and the properties of the test statistics are examined. The preferred test is based on the distribution function of the regional parent and its power is shown to depend on region size, record length and choice of parent distribution.Keywords
