Dry Wash: A streambed that carries water only during and immediately following rainstorms. Ephemeral Streams: Streams which flow only in direct response to precipitation and whose channel is at all times above the water table. Freshwater marsh: Open wetlands that occur along rivers and lakes. Intermittent stream: 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. Perennial streams: Streams which flow continuously. Pipe crossing: Crossing of a pipe or force main over or under a surface water body. Riverine: Relating to, formed by, or resembling a river including tributaries, streams, brooks, etc. Slough: A shallow backwater inlet that is commonly exposed at low tide. Stream: A general term for a body of flowing water; natural water course containing water at least part of the year.
