I thought that "The tag intermittent=yes is used to indicate that a
waterway (river, stream, etc.) does not have a permanent flow" is quite
clear but apparently it needs to be simplified. Can somebody help in
finding more understandable definition?

Maybe current definition should be changed but clearly at least some
consider seasonal waterways and water bodies to be intermittent
(including scientists publishing what seems to be reputable sources).

Changing definition of established tag requires really strong
justification that it is a good idea.
