Abstract: 

The objective of paper is the development methodological principles of use of the Andrews’ Curves for the hydrological regionalization the territory of Ukraine. Hydrologic regionalization has important scientific and practical importance. The traditional methods such regionalization are regression and cluster analysis, method of principal components, but it has a high degree of subjectivity. In this paper, the methodological principles employing the Andrews’ Curves for hydrologic regionalization the territory of Ukraine were created. Were obtained the 13 homogeneous hydrological regions, the 4 of which were divided into sub-districts. The spatial representation the hydrologic regionalization was created the using GIS MapInfo.
