A brook is a very shallow river that dwarves and other creatures can walk on. (This is not a bug.) Brooks are a permanent source of water that can be used for farming and power generation. Water wheels will not function if placed directly on a brook; in order to get water wheels to work, you must dig a channel through the surface of the brook tiles, which removes its walkability. Keep in mind that you do not need to dig a channel in order to fish, the brook is treated as normal water in this case. When mined or channeled, a brook tile will produce one stone. This can provide an important source of stone for maps which contain aquifers with the brook itself providing the motive force for draining the aquifer, and the stone supplying the much needed mechanisms.
