This is idiotic.
I’m going to start tagging Interstate 5 in San Diego as an intermittent river
that just happens to be a motorway 99.95 percent of it’s life. I have
hydroplaned down it for a good mile or so, so I’m going to say that is good
enough to constitute an intermittent river.
A wash/wadi is a feature created /changed by water but used and navigated as a
dry feature. it very very rarely has water.
I’m guessing the people who are interested in tagging “drystreams” (the fisrt
time I have heard that), are not really familiar with what a wadi or a wash is,
nor have spent time in them during their dominant dry state (nor seen them
catastrophically flood).
