More About Stream
What is a basic definition of stream?
A stream is a small river, a continuous flow, or a flow of data over the internet. Stream has several other senses as a noun and a verb.
Like a river, a stream is a body of water that flows from one source and ends by emptying into a larger body of water or a water basin.

- Real-life examples: The United States has millions of miles of streams. Streams play an important part in nature because they deliver water or offer shelter to plants, fish, and other aquatic animals. You might have a stream near you that is home to fish or other aquatic life.
