In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground or dries up completely at the end of its course, and does not reach another body of <a title=\"Water\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Water\">water<\/a>. Small rivers may be called by several other names, including <a title=\"Stream\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stream\">stream<\/a>, creek, brook, rivulet, and <a title=\"Rill\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rill\">rill<\/a>.
