Trickles is a term used to describe the slow and steady flow of a liquid. It is similar to the terms oozes and SEEPS, which both refer to the same concept. Oozes is defined as a slow and steady flow of a liquid, while SEEPS is defined as a slow and steady trickle of liquid. All three terms are used to describe the same phenomenon, but with slightly different connotations. Trickles is often used to describe a gentle, almost imperceptible flow, while oozes and SEEPS are more often used to describe a more pronounced flow.
