A stream is a continuous body of surface water [1] flowing within the bed and banks of a channel. Depending on its location or certain characteristics, a stream may be referred to by a variety of local or regional names.

2013年10月30日 · Streams play a critical role in the quality and supply of our drinking water by ensuring a continuous flow of clean water to surface waters and helping recharge underground aquifers. In the continental United States, 357,000 miles of streams provide water for public drinking water systems.

2018年6月6日 · Rivers? Streams? Creeks? These are all names for water flowing on the Earth's surface. Whatever you call them and no matter how large they are, they are invaluable for all life on Earth and are important components of the Earth's water cycle.

2023年10月19日 · A stream is a body of water that flows on Earth’s surface. The word stream is often used interchangeably with river, though rivers usually describe larger streams. Streams provide many benefits to humans. Besides providing drinking water and irrigation for crops, streams wash away waste and can provide electricity through hydropower.

When we start seeing changes in their populations, we know there may be a problem affecting stream health. Macroinvertebrates are a common bioindicator- an organism that tells us the health of the ecosystem it lives in.

So, before you plan your next picnic by the stream, how about learning a little about the 8 unique types of streams of water that exist in the world? How do streams exist? The presence of gravity and water helps to form a stream. The cycle begins when precipitation falls on the ground.

2021年10月20日 · A stream is a body of water that flows naturally down a hill moved by gravity carrying sediments and rock particles along with it, making up most of our countries’ natural water supply. Many things create streams, from melting snow and ice to excessive rainfall collecting in a deep crater of soil and even a spring-fed pond.

A stream is flow of water, driven by gravity, in a natural channel, on land. A small brook in a meadow and the Amazon River are both streams. It is interesting to watch water on a recently bulldozed construction site with a slope. At first the water saturates the ground and begins to flow downhill across the surface of the slope in a thin sheet.

Waterstream is now available as a managed service named Waterstream Cloud. With a few clicks you can create a Waterstream instance and connect it to any cloud service offering Kafka, like Confluent Cloud or Amazon MSK.

All Waterstream data is persisted to the Kafka or other compatible streaming platform - no persistent volumes needed for Waterstream nodes, any node can come and go at any time together with its disk content. Waterstream nodes expose metrics which can be collected by Prometheus and displayed in Grafana as a dashboard.
