__NOTOC__
A '''wadi''' is a natural, dry (ephemeral) riverbed that contains water only during times of heavy rain or simply an intermittent stream, in semi-arid areas.

== How to map ==
To map a wadi, make a simple way and add the {{Tag|waterway|wadi}} tag to it.

If a flow exists, the direction of the way must be downstream (i.e. the way direction follows the flow).

== Useful combination ==
* {{Tag|name}} to specify the name of the wadi.
* {{Tag|width}} to indicate the width of the wadi. This is an approximate average width of the wadithroughout most of length of that bit of wadi.
* {{Tag|intermittent||yes}} is implied.
