Once more the pipe tore, and the stream of water issuing from it became like a small river.
Not far beyond them the stream becomes clear and smooth again, though it runs swiftly.
I could see nothing save that the stream had narrowed to half its former width, and was still becoming narrower.
The stream would become shallow enough to ford, as it had been before.
Soon they sensed that the stream was becoming shallow once more.
At high water or heavy rain the small stream became a danger so had to be straightened sporadically near living areas.
While the steep crests still rose high before them, the stream they followed became a trickle.
By December 18 the stream was becoming a flood.
The streams that came from the stone were becoming fewer.
A stream not navigable in its natural state may become so as a result of artificial improvements.
