studies. Unfortunately, remaining trend detection tests and other important
properties of the time series (i.e., stationarity, homogeneity, periodicity and
persistence) are often ignored. The main reason behind this ignorance seems
to be lack of scientists'/researchers' knowledge about the availability of
appropriate statistical tests for time series analysis as well as the lack of easy-
to-use guidelines/book for their effective application. It is expected that the
application of time series analysis to hydrological/hydrogeological variables
will expand considerably in the future with gradual advancements in
computation technology and increasing availability of software packages for
time series analysis. More and more studies encompassing a wide variety of
hydrological/hydrogeological variables, together with innovative studies are
needed to bring the time series analysis techniques to maturity.
