Small Stream

The small stream in forest flows along it's set course. A stream is a body of water with a current, confined within a bed and stream banks. The stream bed is covered with pebbles and bigger rocks that the water ripples over and flows around. The little fish just go with the flow. Streams typically derive most of their water from precipitation in the form of rain and snow. Some of the water proceeds to sink into the earth by infiltration and becomes groundwater, much of which eventually enters streams.
