This document summarizes a study that characterized the spatial and temporal patterns of intermittent rivers globally. The study analyzed daily discharge data from over 1700 gauging stations in France, Spain, Australia, and the United States to classify rivers as perennial or intermittent. Of the 1684 stations considered, 455 were classified as intermittent, having on average at least 5 zero-flow days per year. The analysis found that over 50% of intermittent rivers in the database were located in Australia, while proportions in Spain and France were 25% and 7%, respectively. Intermittence demonstrated high seasonality varying between countries. Links between climate variability and intermittence were not straightforward and varied between countries. No spatially coherent trends were identified in inter
