Answer

An ephemeral stream is a type of stream that flows only temporarily, usually in response to precipitation events. These streams do not have a continuous flow and may be dry for most of the year, only flowing during or shortly after rainstorms or snowmelt. Ephemeral streams are common in arid and semi-arid regions where water availability is limited, and their flow is intermittent based on the availability of water.
