dry creek bed
Empty stream course
A dry creek bed is the channel where a stream once flowed or flows only seasonally, now empty of water.
The rocks, sand, and carved banks remain as evidence of past flow.
In landscaping, artificial dry creek beds mimic this natural feature for drainage or decoration: We installed a dry creek bed to handle runoff from the roof.
