Non-perennial rivers, also known as ephemeral or intermittent rivers, flow only during certain periods, often in response to seasonal rainfall or snowmelt. Examples include the Wadi system in the Middle East, which can be dry for much of the year, and the seasonal rivers in arid regions, such as the Rio Grande in certain stretches. These rivers may also flow sporadically after heavy rain events but can be completely dry at other times.
Examples of non-perennial rivers include the Santa Ana River in California, USA, the Barak River in India, and the Okavango River in Botswana. These rivers do not flow year-round due to seasonal variations in precipitation and water availability.
