I would add that, according to the wiki 
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Dwadi), waterway=wadi has 
been deprecated and should be replaced with waterway=stream or waterway=river, 
anyway with intermittent=yes. Apart from that, I agree with 61sundowner: the 
track and the waterway should be mapped separately, each with their own path.

      In Saudi Arabia a wadi is a mostly dry riverbed that
        carries water very infrequently (maybe a couple of times year).
      

      
      Within most sandy bottomed wadi’s is at least one
        track (typically 4wd).
      

      
      The exact location of the track within the wadi will
        change due to occasional flooding events.
      

      
      I’ve read the discussion summary at 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:waterway%3Dwadi but
      I’m still not clear exactly how to tag this feature?
      

      
      It seems:
      

      
        -
        waterway=wadi
        -
        intermittent=yes
      

      
      is ok.
      

      
      But how to indicate can be vehicle track?
      

      
      Is it ok to mark a track in the “rough” vicinity
        (i.e.: the track path will change between flooding events)?
      

      
      Should the wadi “line” be marked in the centre
        between the edges?
      

      
      Would these tags be ok for a: “sandy bottomed wadi;
        4wd only"
      

      
        waterway
        = wadi
        intermittent
        = yes
        highway
        = track
        tracktype
        = grade4
        4wd_only
        = yes
        surface
        = unpaved
      

      
      Suggestions welcome.
      

      
        

      
    
    

    In an ideal world;

    the wadi would be a way along the lowest path - where water would
    first flow.

    the track would be a separate way 

    

    For less work a mapper would combine these into one way ... that
    makes rendering harder.
