Sumario:The temporal structure of both deficit (negative) and excess (positive) periods in surface overflow of Andean rivers were analyzed by studying the runs. In Southern areas (in the province of Neuquén and the Southern part of the province of Mendoza), positive and negative groups of anomalies have been found to diminish geometrically over the years. In the Northern areas (in the province of San Juan and Northern part of the province of Mendoza) persistence occurs in negative runs only. This behavior is produced by the influence of the basins located in an arid zone, because of the heterogeneity in the structure of the precipitation in this region.
