Streams and rivers are the result of rain falling to the ground. The water runs downhill and flows towards the sea.
Streams
Ephemeral streams are streams that only have running surface water after a rain storm. During most of the year they are dry gullies or arroyos.
Most pollution in streams is caused by agricultural runoff. Many farms and ranches do not take precautions against the runoff.
Most of the functionality available for byte streams is also provided for character streams.
If mountain glaciers disappear there will be no source for many mountain streams, which will then dry up. Many rivers will be reduced in size as a result.

Streams are merely tributaries of rivers. A river is the wider channel into which smaller creeks, streams and rivers flow. (Streams do not flow out of rivers.) Streams carry water from higher sources, emptying into the river. As more streams empty into a river, it tends to become broader, simply because of the greater volume of water it is carrying.

creates sulfuric acid that can enter and as a result pollute streams and other environments.
An ephemeral stream is dry most of the time and ionly holds water suring and after rainfall or snowmelt events. Streams in humid climates generally have water in them at all times.
