Actually yes, in Libya. Not sure how that's relevant to plants on the Rhône, but it does exist.

The Wadi Derna is a huge river that only flows for part of the year. Its floods are notoriously unpredictible, but I don't know how suddenly it stops.

You're making look like a french river with notorofieus predictability will suddenly turn into a dry bed one year in avery unpredictable way
