Intermittent streams are watercourses that do not flow continuously throughout the year. Instead, they may only carry water during certain seasons, such as during heavy rainfall or snowmelt. These streams can dry up completely during dry periods, making them distinct from perennial streams, which have a constant flow. The flow of intermittent streams is influenced by various factors, including climate, topography, and soil type. They play an important role in local ecosystems, providing habitats for various species and contributing to groundwater recharge when water is present. Understanding intermittent streams is essential for effective water management and environmental conservation.
