In the classic version, or with ASCII mode enabled, brooks are represented by the cyan and white {{Tile|≈|3:1}} and {{Tile|~|3:1}} tiles on the surface, or {{Tile|∞|7:0}} when frozen, and will be clearly labelled as a brook when viewed with {{k|k}}. Like rivers, unfrozen brook tiles will be constantly blinking to indicate that they have [[flow]]. | In the classic version, or with ASCII mode enabled, brooks are represented by the cyan and white {{Tile|≈|3:1}} and {{Tile|~|3:1}} tiles on the surface, or {{Tile|∞|7:0}} when frozen, and will be clearly labelled as a brook when viewed with {{k|k}}.

| − | [[Water wheel|Water wheels]] | + | [[Water wheel|Water wheels]] will not function if placed directly on a brook. In order to get a water wheel to work on a brook, you must dig a [[channel]] through the [[floor|surface]] of the brook, which removes the floor tiles, making that part like a normal river. Also, [[well]]s cannot be placed directly on a brook, and must also have the brook's surface removed via channeling. |
Water flows from the upstream end of the brook at the edge of the map, while draining at the downstream end. By using {{k|k}} to look at the water levels at the ends of the river, you can determine which end is downstream by looking for tiles that are not full with 7/7 water. You may need to drain some water from the brook before being able to see this effect. At the headspring of a brook, water flows from the tip of each branch of the fan shape; those tips are shown as '''River Source''' instead of '''Brook''' when looked at on the lower level (and not frozen). | Water flows from the upstream end of the brook at the edge of the map, while draining at the downstream end.
