A creek is very short in width. In most cases, you can step over a creek; the average width of a creek is probably two to three feet.
A stream is longer in width, but you probably can't but a canoe or kayak in one. The average width of a stream is probably four to six feet.
From what I have gathered from other sources the generally accepted hierarchy is:
* Brooks * Creeks * Streams
* Rivers But the real caveat here is that there is no international or accepted definition/criteria as to which are which or by what standard they ought to be named.
My instincts suggest to me that there ought be a term between streams and rivers but the American nuance of language does not have a term for that.
Hope this helps a little.

A creek changes in depth and width through terrain, tidal. or weather changes. A brook is consistent in color, depth and width.
A ditch is a like a long pit or dried up river bed, it doesnt naturaly hold any water unless it has resently rained. as for a creek and stream there isn't a real definant difference.
A brook is more like a creek that will flow into a river which is larger. Basically a river is bigger than a brook.

What is the difference between ditch and stream?
A ditch is a man-made channel designed to drain water or redirect it, often dug along roads or fields. A stream, on the other hand, is a natural flowing body of water that moves continuously in a particular direction, such as a river or creek. While both can carry water, a ditch is typically more controlled and functional, while a stream is a natural feature of the landscape.
