I would recommend drawing a separate “way” for the highway. I imagine that the route taken by vehicles or people walking is a few meters off of the center of the waterway, and perhaps a little straighter. If you are coarsest tracing the waterway and road, then the two ways might share most of their nodes.

I don't think you have used them. The ones I have used:
The waterway will vary from one flow to the next by some meters - they are sand bottoms. The rivers when flowing are 10s of metres wide.
Some flood in flatter areas.
The road/track will change after a rain event by meters to make best use of the changed topography.
The are mostly sandy bottoms - meters wide. Take a look at the Todd River in
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ephemeral#Examples

The way shown in OSM (or any map) is a guide.
I would not take the trouble to offset one from the other, if it were done then it is bound to be on the wrong side :)

    Many waterways (wadis) in our region used as roads when no rain days.

    How to tag them? is it allowed to use (waterway + highway) in
    same way?


    Similar problems in Australia


    Many ephemeral rivers are used for vehicles and some are used as
    hiking paths.


    For the hiking paths as these are routes I have simply made them
    into members of the route.


    Tagging both as highway + waterway will lead to problems.


    Using the route relation has worked for the hiking trails that I
    have done so far.

    That might work for highways too, make a relation with the normal
    highways and waterways as a route.
