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 characterised by its shallowness.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Small streams, otherwise referred to as headwaters, are vital habitat for many aquatic and semi-aquatic species and integral for clean water.

These small streams exert a critical influence on downstream portions of the river network by: retaining or transmitting sediment and nutrients; providing habitat and refuge for diverse aquatic and riparian organisms; creating migration corridors; and governing connectivity at the watershed-scale.
