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).
Where wiki recommends converting all waterway=wadi to waterway=river or
stream with intermittent=yes?
On http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Dwadi there is
"For intermittent waterways use waterway=river/waterway=stream +
intermittent=yes. For valleys natural=valley"
True ..
but on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway
"It has been recommended to stop using this tag. Use a combination of
/waterway=river/ and /intermittent=yes/ instead."
Looks like that has been there since 2008.
