I'm not sure if the two tags need to or should be mixed like that.

It might be better to just allow time frames (seasons as well as month ranges) 
in addition to yes/no values for both seasonal and intermittent.

So:

seasonal=summer
intermittent=summer

means it's only flowing in the summer (from seasonal), and then only 
intermittent.

or

seasonal=summer
intermittent=autumn-spring or autumn;winter;spring or march-november (maybe 
mar-nov ?)

means it's always flowing in the summer, and intermittent the rest of the year.

The concept of seasons becomes less meaningful the closer you get to the 
equator, so allowing month based time frames would make sense. Maybe also the 
concept of tropical "wet" or "dry" season. Perhaps "monsoon" season as well in 
areas where that is a prominent weather pattern.
