\"Stream\"Stream<\/strong>, from Latin wrinkle<\/em>, it's a short but almost continuous flow<\/strong> from Water<\/strong>. The term is used to refer to the channel<\/strong> where said flow runs or to the part of the street<\/strong> where the waters usually run. For example: \"Juan went fishing in the stream: I suppose he will return at dusk\"<\/em>, \"Marcela was swimming in the stream when the storm broke.\"<\/em>, \"The drought made the stream disappear\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It can be said, therefore, that a stream is a stream of water that usually flows continuously<\/strong>. His low flow<\/strong> differentiates it from a River<\/strong> since the stream can even disappear in the driest seasons of the year.<\/p>\n

So much so that many streams have been used for the construction of houses a few meters from its channel, and people live peacefully all year, simply having to cope with the epoch<\/b> of rains and the consequent flooding of the road, although in some places the presence of water does not last more than a few days. Such is the case of Arroyo de Total\u00e1n, for example, which is located a few kilometers from the city of Malaga, in the Spanish region of Andalusia; its inhabitants lead a normal life and only have to accept a few days of solitary confinement a year.<\/p>\n

Streams can flow into a River<\/strong>, in a lake<\/strong> or in the sea<\/b>. The shallow part of the stream, which can even be crossed on foot, is called ford<\/strong>, bath<\/strong>, bathtub<\/strong> or Spa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Often times, streams are not navigable<\/strong> due to its low flow. It is possible, however, to find streams that can be crossed with small boats. In some countries of South America<\/strong>, the notion of stream is used to name true rivers of short extension<\/strong> yes they are navigable<\/b> throughout the year.<\/p>\n

\"Stream\"Tropical streams, as well as streams, have less stability than rivers, and its channel can go from being completely dry to presenting a powerful torrent almost 10 meters deep in just a few hours<\/b>, because of a heavy rain. The smaller ones cannot be seen from the air, since they pass under the treetops of the woods<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Although the stream is not particularly striking, it is a body of water that is home to a significant number of animal species; in rainforests it is usually home to various species of insects, some amphibians and fish. On the other hand, it should not be forgotten that it is also a fountain<\/b> of water for many terrestrial individuals.<\/p>\n

The Colombian city of Barranquilla must face the problems generated by the significant water flows that, during the winter, circulate through its streams. In 1920, HERBARD & COMPANY INC studied the situation and raised with the authorities the need to create a system<\/b> sewer system, but the lack of funds left Barranquilla without protection against the rainy seasons. Almost four decades later another company recommended the channeling of certain streams, which was not carried out either, and today the inhabitants pay the consequences.<\/p>\n

Another use of the term is symbolic and is linked to affluent of any liquid<\/strong>: \u201cThe murderer stabbed him with a dagger and a stream of blood<\/b> began to sprout from his entrails \"<\/em>, \"The news generated a stream of tears in those present\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Arroyo is also the name of various locations<\/strong> and a surname<\/strong> quite usual in Latin America<\/strong>: \"My grandfather was born in Arroyo, a town in Cantabria\"<\/em>, \"Carlos Arroyo is my favorite player on the Puerto Rico basketball team\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
