| wash arroyo Explanation: - Arroyo (creek), also called a wash, a dry creek bed or gulch that temporarily fills with water after a heavy rain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wash - An arroyo (/əˈrɔɪoʊ/; Spanish: [aˈroʝo], "brook"), also called a wash, is a dry creek or stream bed—gulch that temporarily or seasonally fills and flows after sufficient rain.[1] In Hispanic America any small river might be called an arroyo, even if it flows continually all year and is never dry. In Spain, a rambla has a similar meaning to arroyo. Wadi is a similar term used in North Africa and the Middle East. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arroyo_(creek) |
