>> After reflection, I think the Gwydir River does not really exist west of the wetlands and I think it should be deleted from OSM, even though it is shown on the LPI Base Map. I propose to delete this section of the river and follow the local council signposted name for the more westerly waterway that does actually exist at Morialta and Watercourse Roads.

ops. "with not explaining" -> "with note tag explaining"

So for example I would change

"waterway=river" to "source:note=survey note="the river is not existing, see https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2019-June/012740.html <https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2019-June/012740.html> for more detail"

Though, there are some places where water flows only some times during the year and object 
is considered to be intermittent stream/river.

How often water flows there? Is riverbed treated as riverbed (no constructions, fords/bridges) etc?
Are locals referring to it as river/former river/not aware that it was a river?

Is "Gwydir River" still used as location recognizable by people?
