Stream
A stream is a continuous body of surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel. Depending on its location or certain characteristics, a stream may be referred to by a variety of local or regional names. Long, large streams are usually called rivers, while smaller, less voluminous and more intermittent streams are known as streamlets, brooks or creeks. The flow of a stream is controlled by three inputs – surface runoff (from precipitation or meltwater), daylighted subterranean water, and surfaced groundwater (spring water).
Jardin d'eau

Un jardin d'eau ou jardin aquatique est un jardin principalement construit autour d'un système de bassins ou en fond de noue, dans lequel des plantes aquatiques ou palustres poussent dans l'eau et alentour. Ces jardins peuvent avoir une vocation secondaire ou principale d'épuration de l'eau. Du bassin des jardins égyptiens aux grandes eaux de Versailles, des quatre fleuves du jardin d'Eden au Taj Mahal, les jardins ont fréquemment été des jardins d'eau en tout ou en partie.
Garden design
Garden design is the art and process of designing and creating plans for layout and planting of gardens and landscapes. Garden design may be done by the garden owner themselves, or by professionals of varying levels of experience and expertise. Most professional garden designers have some training in horticulture and the principles of design. Some are also landscape architects, a more formal level of training that usually requires an advanced degree and often a state license.
History of gardening
The early history of gardening is largely entangled with the history of agriculture, with gardens that were mainly ornamental generally the preserve of the elite until quite recent times. Smaller gardens generally had being a kitchen garden as their first priority, as is still often the case. The broad traditions that have dominated gardening since ancient times include those of the Ancient Near East, which became the Islamic garden, the Mediterranean, which produced the Roman garden, hugely influencing later European gardening, and the Chinese garden and its development in the Japanese garden.

Un 'jardin' est un lieu durablement et hypothétiquement aménagé où l'on cultive de façon ordonnée des plantes domestiquées ou sélectionnées. Il est le produit de la technique du jardinage et, comme elle, il remonte au moins à l'Antiquité. Les différentes cultures humaines dans le monde, au fil des époques, ont inventé de nombreux types et styles de jardins.
