I strongly oppose bolting on additional unclear values to tag where 99.99% values are yes/no.


See https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/intermittent#values 98.68% for yes, 1.31% for no,

all other values together 0.01%.


Especially as intermittent=summer may easily mean:


"intermittent during summer, water present otherwise"

"intermittent during summer, no water otherwise"


Intermittent is nice, clean tag without overly complicated syntax and it should stay this way.


The question asked was 'how would you tag it'.

I answered how I would tag it. Note - with the increased use of 'intermittent' as a way of having seasonal rendered I will not be using the 'intermittent' tag again.
In fact I see it as a nonsense tag due to its multiple OSM meanings.
So i will be using tags that are more tightly defined .. like seasonal (by it self). If renders chose not to render the tag seasonal that is their choice, not up to mappers to use another tag to have it rendered.

I take it there are not further comments on the topic (the subject of this thread) of 'ephemeral'?
