During which season are intermittent streams generally full of water?

Intermittent streams are typically full of water during winter and spring due to several hydrological and climatic factors. In winter, precipitation in the form of snow and rain contributes to the flow of these streams as snow melts, resulting in increased water levels. Spring sees a further increase in flow as temperatures rise and snowmelt becomes more pronounced, leading to higher runoff into these water bodies. As a result, during these seasons, intermittent streams are often at their fullest due to the combined effects of melted snow and seasonal rainfall.

In contrast, other seasons, such as summer and autumn, generally see reduced flow in intermittent streams as evaporation increases and precipitation decreases, which can lead to dry conditions. Therefore, the choice highlighting winter and spring as the seasons when these streams are most likely to be full is accurate.
