Under those considerations, a regional discharge of 709 m(3)/s to the Pacific Ocean is estimated with a significant increasing trend of about 43 m(3)/s per decade over the 1970-2010 period. To represent the multidecadal behaviour of freshwater runoff along the region, a regional runoff analysis is proposed based on hydrological modelling at annual and monthly time step for unimpaired conditions over the whole 1970-2010 period. Differential Split-Sample Tests are used to assess the hydrological modelling robustness of the GR1A and GR2M conceptual lumped models, showing a satisfactory transposability from dry to wet years inside the thresholds defined for Nash-Sutcliffe and bias criteria. This allowed relating physical catchment characteristics with calibrated and validated model parameters, thus offering a regional perspective for dryland conditions in the study area (e.g., the anticlockwise hysteresis relationship found for seasonal precipitation-runoff relationship) as well as the impacts of climate variability and catchment characteristics. %$ 062 ; 020
