Dear OSM folks,
Here in the western US (and in many desert areas) we have a
phenomenon known as an intermittent stream. Sometimes a major
waterway, such as the LA river, will be bone dry most of the year,
but turn into a torrent when it rains. The same is true for most
smaller waterways.
In addition, in urban areas these same "streams" often are
encased in concrete walls to control them during those rare occasions
when they are full. However, calling them "drains" isn't really what
they are, so I've still used "stream."
The USGS (US Geological Service) has a dotted and dashed
line for intermittent streams. Do you think that's appropriate for
OSM and should I propose it? I think it is applicable to many desert areas.
Best,
Charlotte Wolter
