Here is another low desert creek, this one is actually intermittent. It is in a bwh climate and flows on average for about 4-7 months of the year. Due to unique geography some hydrology channels will actually flow for certain section then go dry due to seepage geography, then re-emerge at lower elevations or in canyons where the bedrock is closer to the surface. But this is an example of a natural intermittent creek that flows mostly during winter in a climate similar to Phoenix Arizona, something most people assume is impossible. In the past larger basins and river would flow year round through the mountains all the way to Yuma, Arizona which is a giga shithole desert 2bh, literally hyper-arid.
Also as mentioned before, dry washes actually carry underground water flow in the actual wash channel above the bedrock. Ancient Iranians took advantage of this by making qanats, to direct this above bedrock groundwater to human use. It is also as mentioned, possible to coax flows back above ground by natural processes.
