Can anyone please explain, at least for Wikidata purposes of usage, the difference between creek (Q1437299) and seasonal river (Q16465938)? To me, both look the same, that is a watercourse that is by default dry and gets water only from rainfalls.
From the terms being used in labels, it looks like seasonal river (Q16465938) the watercourse gets water several times in year, while creek (Q1437299) gets water less often. Another difference I would find is also that the 1st one is more likely to be used for wide watercourses, while the 2nd one is more for small in width ones.
