What is another word for dry gulch?
Pronunciation: [dɹˈa͡ɪ ɡˈʌlt͡ʃ] (IPA) 
A dry gulch is a narrow and steep channel in a dry riverbed where water flows only occasionally, usually after heavy rainfall. Synonyms for dry gulch include arroyo, wadi, ravine, gully, wash, and creek bed. Arroyo and wadi are Spanish and Arabic words respectively, both referring to a dry riverbed that usually contains water only during or after heavy rainfalls. Ravine and gully, on the other hand, are deeper and narrower than a dry gulch, often created by erosion. Wash and creek bed are more general terms for any bed of a stream or river that usually contains only a small amount or no water.
