This lecture delves into the biosphere, focusing on the formation of streams and rivers. Beginning as freshwater springs and seeps, streams grow and merge, evolving into larger rivers. We explore three primary types of stream habitats: riffles, pools, and runs. Each habitat plays a crucial role in supporting aquatic life and ecological processes. Understanding these environments is essential for conservation efforts and enhancing our appreciation of freshwater ecosystems.
