streambedor stream channelAny long, narrow, sloping depression on land that had been shaped by flowing water. Streambeds can range in width from a few feet for a brook to several thousand feet for the largest rivers.

Streambeds may be cut in bedrock or through sand, clay, silt, or other unconsolidated materials. How to thank TFD for its existence?
