    Flow is not a good choice for a key as you can tag other
    hydrological features' permanence; such as lakes or wetlands, and
    these don't flow.


Then, water_presence=permanent(default), intermittent, ephemeral, seasonal? Obviously, I find water_ prefix redundant with waterway=*, but understand that it may be necessarily. I don't see any objection to such key in your story. Just "no particular response".

It would allows us to merge intermittent=yes, seasonal=*, ephemeral=yes and maybe more tags.


That does not allow for a combination .. e.g.

seasonal presence in winter
intermittent presence in spring;summer

The present practice of adding the tag intermittent to anything tagged seasonal does not help at all for any chance of combinations ... so OSM may as well abandon any hope of detailing any complex situation.
