I'm currently doing mapping for the island of Maui in Hawai'i. The leeward side of this island has a large number of streams that are dry nearly all the time, only containing water during periods of heavy rain. On maps, these streams are often depicted as dashed or dotted blue lines.<div>

I remember it as being an official tag, but when I can't find the documentation now, so it's likely that I am simply misremembering. There isn't support for the tag from Mapnik or Osmarender, so if there's another tag that does have render support, I'd like to know too.</div>
