  abstract = {{I}ntermittent rivers are prevalent in many countries across {E}urope, but little is known about the temporal evolution of intermittence and its relationship with climate variability. {T}rend analysis of the annual and seasonal number of zero-flow days, the maximum duration of dry spells and the mean date of the zero-flow events is performed on a database of 452 rivers with varying degrees of intermittence between 1970 and 2010. {T}he relationships between flow intermittence and climate are investigated using the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index ({SPEI}) and climate indices describing large-scale atmospheric circulation. {T}he results indicate a strong spatial variability of the seasonal patterns of intermittence and the annual and seasonal number of zero-flow days, highlighting the controls exerted by local catchment properties. {M}ost of the detected trends indicate an increasing number of zero-flow days, which also tend to occur earlier in the year, particularly in southern {E}urope. {T}he {SPEI} is found to be strongly related to the annual and seasonal zero-flow day occurrence in more than half of the stations for different accumulation times between 12 and 24 months. {C}onversely, there is a weaker dependence of river intermittence with large-scale circulation indices. {O}verall, these results suggest increased water stress in intermittent rivers that may affect their biota and biochemistry and also reduce available water resources.},
