Ephemeral Streams



Ephemeral streams mapped in  Upper San Pedro Basin, Southeastern Arizona  




Ephemeral streams seem to be well documented, in NZ and in other parts of the world. The Auckland Council website. They are expected to be small streams, either in headwater areas or coastal streams with small catchments. A well-known Auckland ephemeral stream is in McLean Park, near Howick.


I also found on the council website that there are 13 un-nammed throughout the Auckland region. Every stream is monitored, and depending on its type, has certain objectives. Some are classed as being "disturbed," such as Manutewhau Stream.
