The Rio Grande is both a river and a stream. The official geological term is stream, which is any flowing body of water. The terms rill, rille, rivulet, rillet, brook, creek, and river are differentiating terms used mainly to signify the size (from smaller to larger) of the bodies of flowing water, or to indicate that one is a tributary to another larger flowing body. Rills, rilles, rivulets, and rillets are the small streams which feed larger brooks or creeks; brooks, as a general rule feed into creeks, which in turn feed into rivers. They are all, by these or several other names, officially, streams. Search under "features, USGS, glossary" for more information. Given this, it is then seen that all of the distinct beds of the vast Rio Grande Watershed are interconnected steams constituting the Rio Grand Steam System. The Rio Grande itself constitutes the longest and most distinctly continuous stream bed of the system and is labeled a river as a result.
