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. Brooks produce stone, the type depending on the local biome, when they are mined or channeled. 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.
