That depends how you interpret it.  Which would depend, to some extent, how it was documented.

    The seasonal=yes says it is non perennial all by it self.


You're interpreting seasonal as being a specific case of intermittent: sometimes there is water and sometimes there isn't; the water is present (for example) in summer but not other times of year.

Try this alternative interpretation which is meaningful: there is water there in summer but not
at other times of year however, even in summer, that flow is intermittent.

In that case I would tag

intermittent=summer

The tag is much clear than
intermittent=yes
seasonal=summer
that could be taken (and how I would interpret it) to have a summer water presence with intermittent water at other times of the year.


That, i think, would make such a combination meaningful.  Not necessarily how people would interpret it without further explanation, which would be an argument against such
use, but meaningful.

The tags should 'make sense' without requiring further explanation ... as that generates these kind of problems.
