Dictionary:

arroyo

  (ə-roi'ō) pronunciation
n., pl. -os.
  1. A deep gully cut by an intermittent stream; a dry gulch.
  2. A brook; a creek.

[Spanish, from Vulgar Latin *arrugius, gold mine, underground passage, variant of Latin arrugia, a galleried mine.]


 
 

A gully which is rectangular, rather than V-shaped, in cross-section, usually with a sandy floor. Arroyos occur in fine-grained cohesive sediments in arid environments, and result from the entrenchment of stream channels caused when run-off increases, either through climatic or land use changes. Arroyos are common in the south-western United States.

 

[De]

The dry bed of a seasonal stream.
