Wikipedia rill (plural rills)

1. A very small brook; a streamlet.
   • 1797, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Kubla Khan:

     So twice five miles of fertile ground

     With walls and towers were girdled round :

     And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,

     Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ;

     And here were forests ancient as the hills,

     Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
