<pre wrap="">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 <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Dwadi">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Dwadi</a> there is
"For intermittent waterways use waterway=river/waterway=stream +
intermittent=yes. For valleys natural=valley"

True .. <br>
but on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway</a> <br>
"<span style="color:red;">It has been recommended to stop using this
tag. Use a combination of <i>waterway=river</i> and <i>intermittent=yes</i>
instead."<br>
