What is Arroyo?

Arroyo is a dry corner of the river that tends to be filled with water in the rainy season. The term "Arroyo" is a Spanish origin; Such geographical features are known as Wadis in Africa and the Middle East. Arroyos can be potentially very dangerous because they are susceptible to lightning and erosion. As a result, it is good to learn to identify Arroyos so that you are not unintentionally caught in one during bad weather.

The characteristic Arroyo takes the form of a deep cut in the desert. Arroyo may also contain scattered rocks and protocols, indicating the previous flood period. In some cases, green shrubs and small Arroyo trees are lined, indicating that there is a source of groundwater used by these plants. In populated areas, the sign can indicate Arroyo to warn people of potential danger. As a result, Arroyo quickly fills with water that appears in such a large volume that it cannot disperse the soil. As a result, the water rises and eventually turns into a river that canE create a lightning flood, to tear Arroyo quickly and pull trees and rocks. People and animals are caught in Arroyo during the flood will be swept away.

In some regions, Arroyo will support a small, shallow stream or river during the wet season. This may be irritating in urban areas, as water can provide breeding ground for mosquitoes and algae before it evaporates completely at the end of spring or summer. In regions where mosquitoes transmit diseases such as malaria and West Nile virus, some cities treat these temporary accumulations of water to ensure that they remain inhospitable for insects.

One of the main concerns with Arroyos for people like farmers is that their banks can become Quickly. The small channel in the field can turn into a gap gap in the period of heavy rain, because the lightning flood on the banks of the temporary river, undermines them and causes it to collapse. The flood tooHe usually takes away a lightweight topsoil and leaves unnecessary sand and rocks behind. The decision to reduce channels to the field for water transport should be taken carefully to ensure that these channels do not cause problems later.
