The objective of this study was to investigate the hypothesis of stationary behavior in the streamflow regime of the upper Juruá river. For this purpose, annual maximum daily flow data recorded at stations located in Cruzeiro do Sul and Marechal Thaumaturgo, AC, Brazil, were analyzed using Mann-Kendall, Pettitt, and Spearman's Rho tests. The results show sufficient evidence to conclude that in Cruzeiro do Sul flow rates have an ascending temporal behavior, while in Marechal Thaumaturgo it is descending. However, this tendency is not significant (p<0.05), allowing to conclude in favor of the hypothesis of stationarity in the streamflow series of the referred basin. Thus, one of the physical implications associated to the results obtained may be the conclusion that the streamflow regime in the Upper Juruá basin has not changed significantly over time. Key words: stationarity, annual maximum daily flow, Upper Juruá basin. R E S U M O O presente estudo tem o objetivo de investigar a hipótese de comportamento estacionário no regime de vazões do alto rio Juruá. Para tal, foram utilizadas as séries temporais de vazões diárias máximas anuais, gravados nas estações localizadas em Cruzeiro do Sul e Marechal Thaumaturgo, as quais foram analisadas por meio do teste de Mann-Kendall, de Pettitt e do Spearman Rho teste. Os resultados demonstram evidências suficientes para concluir que, em Cruzeiro do Sul, as vazões apresentam comportamento temporal ascendente, enquanto em Marechal Thaumaturgo descendente. Entretanto, tal inclinação não é significativa (p<0,05), permitindo concluir em favor da hipótese de estacionariedade nas séries de vazões da referida bacia hidrográfica. Assim, uma das implicações físicas associadas aos resultados obtidos pode ser a conclusão de que o regime de vazões na bacia do Alto Juruá não sofreu alterações significativas ao longo do tempo. Palavras-chave: estacionariedade, vazões máximas, Bacia do Alto Juruá.
