A watercourse that flows in a well-defined channel for 20 - 90% of the year during normal rainfall conditions.
A stream that dries up during periods of low rainfall, flowing only during the wetter part of the year.
A flow that occurs only seasonally when the water table is at the maximum level. The drainage network is composed of ephemeral, intermittent and perennial streams and the network expands during rainstorms and extends to limits affected by antecedent conditions especially antecedent moisture. Flow may occur along intermittent streams for several months each year but will seldom occur when the water table is lowered during the dry season ( Thomas and Goudie 2000).
A stream that flows frequently for periods after rainfall; discontinuous. It is dry the majority of the year. Loamy Soil
A watercourse that flows in a well-defined channel only in direct response to a precipitation event. It is dry for a large part of the year.
A stream through which water flows only part of the time.
stream that flows only for short periods over a year. Flow events are usually initiated by rainfall.
In hydrological terms, a stream that flows periodically
a dry stream bed that runs only during wet season.
a flowing system under normal weather conditions
A stream that ceases to flow occasionally or seasonally because evaporation and leakage to ground water exceed the available water supply. IRRIGATION RETURN-FLOW--The part of artificially applied water that is not consumed by evapotranspiration and that migrates to an aquifer or surface-water body.
a watercourse that does not flow continuously, or flows during spring and summer only
Streams, which flow primarily during the wet seasons when the water table is high, and remain dry for a portion of the year. Most intermittent streams flow for a good portion of the year.
A stream which flows for only a part of the time. Flow generally occurs for several weeks or months in response to seasonal precipitation, due to ground water discharge, in contrast to the ephemeral stream that flows but a few hours or days following a single storm.
A watercourse that flows only at certain times of the year, conveying water from springs or surface sources; also, a watercourse that does not flow continuously when water losses from evaporation or seepage exceed available stream flow.
An intermittent stream has flowing water during certain times of the year, when groundwater provides water for stream flow. During dry periods, intermittent streams may not have flowing water. Runoff from rainfall is a supplemental source of water for stream flow.
A stream that flows only after rainfall or snowmelt and, therefore, is dry most of the year.
" Ephemeral Stream" A stream segment that transports water intermittently, usually after a rainfall or snowmelt event; it is not fed from spring or groundwater flow and is dry when precipitation is lacking
a stream which has an interrupted flow or does not flow continuously.
a stream that flows only when it receives water from rainfall runoff or springs, or from some surface source such as melting snow.
A stream that ceases to flow in very dry periods.
A stream that flows only at certain times of the year when it receives water from alluvial ground water, springs, or from some surface source such as melting snow in mountainous areas.
surface water that flows seasonally or only after heavy storms
a) Any nonpermanent flowing drainage feature having a definable channel and evidence of scour or deposition. This includes what are sometimes referred to as ephemeral streams if they meet these two criteria. ( FEMAT, IX-16) b) A stream that flows only at certain times of the year when it receives water from streams or from some surface source, such as melting snow. ( FS People's Glossary of Eco Mgmt Terms)
stream which carries water a considerable portion of the time but which ceases to flow occasionally or seasonally because bed seepage and evaporation exceed available water supply
A stream that has a well defined channel but maintains only seasonal flow under typical climatic conditions.
stream that carries water a considerable portion of the time, but that ceases to flow occasionally or seasonally because bed seepage and evapotranspiration exceed the available water supply. Compare ephemeral stream, perennial stream.
