<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thoughts ... (take on Hobbit like
theme - one key to rule them all...)<br>
<br>
As both intermittent and seasonal are all render the same .. why
not combine them into one key as well?<br>
<br>
<br>
non_perennial=seasonal/intermittent/ephemeral/summer/spring/winter/autumn/intermittent_summer/ephemeral_summer
etc<br>
<br>
I note that intermittent is taken by many as 'I know it is
non-perennial' so it may be appropriate to have a
non_perennial=yes for the more common mapping value. <br>
<br>
??? <br>
Well? Is that a reasonable idea? <br>
<br>
It could be implemented as a mechanical edit on <br>
seasonal 1:1. <br>
On intermittent=yes ... as non_perennial=yes with a request to
determine a more specific value? <br>
On intermittent=<i>season</i> ... as non_perennial=intermittent_<i>season<br>
<br>
</i>These could coexist with the present tags while people changed
over. <br>

The primary motivation for me is that a water feature with
intermittent is more likely to have water, even it I have to dig
a meter or two for it, than a water feature with ephemeral.<br>
<br>
I don't expect a 'normal' map will tell me this. But a desert
map should. <br>
<br>
I would map the ephemeral river banks/courses. <br>
But then the places where water pools to form more permanent
water sources I would as natural=water, intermittent=yes. In
this way they can be distinguished as a more probable source of
water. <br>
Some satellite imagery shows these .. but then some shows the
area just after rain! So it requires some judgements. <br>
<br>
I'll add this as a rationale ... <br>
