In my experience a wadi will go from "completely dried up waterway" or "small stream" to a raging river within a few seconds after some rainfall upstream, and back to its former self within a few hours. Depending on the location, these rainfall events might very well be a few years apart. When I tag an "intermittent stream" I usually have something more benign in mind, like a stream that only exists during the spring snow melt and is dry the rest of the year, but maybe that is only my interpretation of an intermittent stream.
