Brook

A brook is a small, natural flowing stream of water, usually narrower and shallower than a river. It typically runs through landscapes like forests, meadows, or under forests, often with a gentle or moderate flow. Brooks are important for ecosystems, providing water for plants and animals, aiding in nutrient transport, and shaping the land through erosion. They can vary in size and velocity and are often enjoyed for their scenic beauty and tranquility. Unlike larger rivers, brooks are more delicate and accessible, making them popular spots for nature walks, fishing, and exploring aquatic life.
