“…Temporary rivers are not restricted to arid regions; they occur in most terrestrial biomes between 84°N and S latitudes (Larned et al, 2010). During the next century, the number and length of rivers that become temporary may increase in regions experiencing drying trends as a result of climate change and water abstraction for socio-economic uses (Rosado et al, 2012). An increase of 50% in the use of water for agriculture and industry is also predicted by 2025 (Tockner and Stanford, 2002).…”

“…Recently, a European stream classification method, based on flow regime, has been proposed by Bussettini et al (2015), whereas Oueslati et al (2015) classified hydrological regime types using stream flow data from EU-NPRS. At a local scale (e.g., Pardiela River basin, Portugal), the duration of drought during a hydrological year has been quantified (Rosado et al, 2012). Also, a hydrological classification of natural flow regimes in the Segura River basin showed that NPRS are mainly restricted to the southern, lowland basin (Belmar et al, 2011).…”

“…In Portugal, the Ordinance 1450/2007 made mandatory a study defining an ecological flow regime downstream of dams, and Law No 7/2008, although not yet implemented, states that the owner must sustain a flow regime adapted to fish life cycles, with the aim of maintaining ecosystem integrity (European Commission, 2015). In addition, the management and conservation of a NPR basin (Pardiela) has been addressed (Rosado et al, 2012). The Spanish Water Law (RDL 1/2001, L11/2005) imposes environmental flows for the conservation of fish assemblages and riparian vegetation.…”
