Stream
A stream is a body of water with a current, confined within a bed and stream banks. Depending on its locale or certain characteristics, a stream may be referred to as a branch, brook, beck, burn, creek, crick, gill (occasionally ghyll), kill, lick, rill, river, syke, bayou, rivulet, streamage, wash, run or runnel.
Streams are important as conduits in the water cycle, instruments in groundwater recharge, and corridors for fish and wildlife migration. The biological habitat in the immediate vicinity of a stream is called a riparian zone. Given the status of the ongoing Holocene extinction, streams play an important corridor role in connecting fragmented habitats and thus in conserving biodiversity. The study of streams and waterways in general is known as surface hydrology and is a core element of environmental geography.[1]
Types
-
- In North America, Australia and New Zealand, a small to medium sized natural stream. Sometimes navigable by motor craft and may be intermittent.
- In parts of New England,[2] the UK and India, a tidal inlet, typically in a salt marsh or mangrove swamp, or between enclosed and drained former salt marshes or swamps (e.g. Port Creek separating Portsea Island from the mainland). In these cases, the stream is the tidal stream, the course of the seawater through the creek channel at low and high tide.
- Tributary
- A contributory stream, or a stream which does not reach the sea but joins another river (a parent river). Sometimes also called a branch or fork.
- Brook
- A stream smaller than a creek, especially one that is fed by a spring or seep. It is usually small and easily forded. A brook is characterized by its shallowness and its bed being composed primarily of rocks.
Other names
In the United Kingdom, there are several regional names for a stream:
- Beck is used in Yorkshire, Lancashire , Dumfriesshire and Cumbria.
- Bourne is used in the chalk downland of southern England (although strictly a bourne is wet in summer and dry in winter).
- Brook is used in the Midlands, Lancashire and Cheshire.
- Burn is used in Scotland and North East England.
- Nant is used in Wales.
- Stream is used in Southern England.
- Syke is used in lowland Scotland and Cumbria.
- Allt is used in Highland Scotland.
In North America:
- Kill in southern New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey comes from a Dutch language word meaning “riverbed” or “water channel”, and can also be used for the UK meaning of ‘creek’.
- Run in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, or Virginia can be the name of a stream.
- Branch, fork, or prong can refer to tributaries or distributaries that share the same name as the main stream, generally with the addition of a cardinal direction.
- Branch is also used to name streams in Maryland and Virginia.
- Falls is also used to name streams in Maryland. Little Gunpowder Falls and The Jones Falls are actually rivers named in this manner, unique to Maryland.
- Stream and brook are used in Midwestern states, Mid-Atlantic states and New England.
- Crick is used in some parts of the United States.
Parts of a stream
- Bar
- A shoal that develops at the mouth of a river as sediment carried by the river is deposited as the current slows or is impedded by wave action. The Temperance River on Lake Superior’s north shore is so named because it is one of the few rivers flowing into the lake that does not have a bar at its mouth.
- Spring
- The point at which a stream emerges from an underground course through unconsolidated sediments or through caves. A stream can, especially with caves, flow aboveground for part of its course, and underground for part of its course.
- Source
- The spring from which the stream originates, or other point of origin of a stream.
- Headwaters
- The part of a stream or river proximate to its source. The word is most commonly used in the plural where there is no single point source.
- Confluence
- The point at which the two streams merge. If the two tributaries are of approximately equal size, the confluence may be called a fork.
- Run
- A somewhat smoothly flowing segment of the stream.
- Pool
- A segment where the water is deeper and slower moving.
- Riffle
- A segment where the flow is shallower and more turbulent.
- Channel
- A depression created by constant erosion that carries the stream’s flow.
- Floodplain
- Lands adjacent to the stream that are subject to flooding when a stream overflows its banks.
- Stream bed
- The bottom of a stream.
- Gauging station
- A point of demarkation along the route of a stream or river, used for reference marking or water monitoring.
- Thalweg
- The river’s longitudinal section, or the line joining the deepest point in the channel at each stage from source to mouth.
- Wetted perimeter
- The line on which the stream’s surface meets the channel walls.
- Nickpoint
- The point on a stream’s profile where a sudden change in stream gradient occurs.
- Waterfall or cascade
- The fall of water where the stream goes over a sudden drop called a nickpoint; some nickpoints are formed by erosion when water flows over an especially resistant stratum, followed by one less so. The stream expends kinetic energy in “trying” to eliminate the nickpoint.
- Mouth
- The point at which the stream discharges, possibly via an estuary or delta, into a static body of water such as a lake or ocean.

Lyrics to Run River :
Run, run river
Carry me to my home in the ocean
Carry me away
I know I have a home
Somewhere far
And I’ll move like the stars that make you feel like you got friends
Stars will make you feel like you got friends
Follow the empty valley
Past the hill
To the marshes of the estuary
Come in peaceful river
In the light of the moon with the river
I do run in the hope that one day I will die
Beneath the ocean
And at this river we’ll forever run
Run, run river
Carry me to my home in the ocean
Carry me away
I know I have a home
Somewhere far
And I’ll move like the stars that make you feel like you got friends
Stars will make you feel like you got friends
Follow the empty valley
Past the hill
To the marshes of the estuary
Come in peaceful river
In the light of the moon with the river
I do run in the hope that one day I will die
Beneath the ocean
And at this river we’ll forever run

The Complete Angler
The Complete Angler – Full length version
The Complete Angler is a film by James Prosek (artist/writer), Fritz Mitchell (producer/editor) and Peter Franchella (cinematographer). It documents Prosek’s travels as he walks in the footsteps of the 17th century English writer, Izaak Walton—”research” for his senior thesis at Yale. The film focuses on Walton’s book, The Compleat Angler, a book that many have heard of but few have actually read.
Chapter 1 – James leaves Connecticut for Ireland and England, catching a few trout in his home streams and musing about his youth, fishing, and some Waltonian ideals. He visits the library at Yale and examines a first edition of Walton’s Compleat Angler from 1653. Then he sits for a reading of Yeat’s poem, The Song of Wandering Aengus, by Harold Bloom.
Chapter 2 – James goes to Ireland to experience the earliest form of fly-fishing, dapping live mayflies impaled on fine-wire hooks for brown trout on the lakes of the Connemara region. He visits with a boy who collects and sells live mayflies to the fishermen, and salmon fishes along the Eriff River.
Chapter 3 – James fishes a tributary of the Thames in London that Walton fished three hundred and fifty years before, the River Lea. Walton was forced out of London during the English Civil War and returned to the pastoral beauty of his homeland in Derbyshire and the beautiful River Dove in the Peak District.
Chapter 4 – James visits the “fishing temple” on the River Dove, which Charles Cotton (considered the father of modern fly-fishing) built in honor of his friend Izaak Walton.
Chapter 5 – James fishes with Sir John Swire, an upper-class Englishman who talks about his love of fishing and of Izaak Walton’s ideals and life philosophy.
Chapter 6 – James visits Victoria Wakefield who helped him secure fishing on the renowned chalk streams, the Test and Itchen in Hampshire. She introduces him to Roger Harrison, who owns a beautiful stretch of water on the Itchen with lots of wild trout. There, James encounters a milkmaiden.
Final Chapter – James visits Izaak Walton’s grave in a chapel in Winchester Cathedral, and discusses the last years of his life. Then he sings a song in a meadow by the river and returns to the fishing at the pond near his home in Connecticut.
