Rills, rivulets, brooks, creeks, runlets, gullies, gutters or whatever regional or local term you employ to describe these small tributaries, their importance to the whole thing cannot be overstated. A expansive filigree of veins transporting the life blood of the land, and nowhere more so than the New Forest which has mile upon mile of mostly untitled tiny waterways woven through its stands and across its heaths. Appearing insignificant as we step across them, without them the forests streams would soon dry up and then too the rivers they eventually feed.
