Sumario:The definition, delimitation and characterization of different hydric regions of Argentine from the hydrologic budget and rainfall characteristics, are very important in order to know the cattle, forestry and agricultural potential of a zone. A statistical multivariate classification technique is used, known as cluster analysis. The cluster analysis is applied to a set of variables (average deficit and excess of water, average monthly deficit and excess of water, equilibrium and stationarity of rainfall), collected from all over the country to define geographical units of homogeneous hydric characteristics. Cluster analysis allowed to delimit fifteen hydric regions in Argentine and thus obtain the associated mean values of the agroclimatic parameters.
