I mapped dry streams. Can someone experienced check my work yesterday? I
also saw waterways in areas where no water could run, as in forests or over
land without any waterway. I also questioned some paths could be wsterways.
Good to check Newbie work!

Yes, changes in water volumes between wet and dry season can be immense in
Nepal. Some stream beds may also go dry in the dry season.
I would guess that some mountain streams may behave as you suggested, but
generally, my expectation would be for more whitewater in the wet season.

Generally, most of the water in Nepal flows fast (we have lots of elevation
changes), and there are very rarely trees growing in standing/moving water
as in Florida.
I don't understand your second question.
