Dry RiversRivers or streams that flow through deserts are typically leaking water through the streambed the whole distance. As a result, some streams dry up before they make it out of the desert. These dry streambeds are called washes, or arroyos. Travellers who set up camp in a wash have sometimes when caught by flash floods when heavy rain in distance mountains causes raging torrents to crash down the streambed.
