Well....... It depends. If the river is really big and wide, and there are hardly any plants growing in it, and there are no rocks and the river is on a plain, then it will probably flow really fast. If the river is atiny little stream in the mountains, then it will probably flow slower. It all depends on the river

Normally a lake does not flow: that is what distinguishes a lake from a stream or river.
When a river floods it water will flow faster then the normal speed.
The Yellow River and Yangtze River. -Abir
The Indus River originates from the Himalaya Mountains. Once it goes through the mountains, it empties into the Arabian Sea.
The Nile river flows from south to north and no it is not the only river that goes northward. Other rivers that flow northward include the Red River (North Dakota), the Lena River (Russia), and the Shennandoah River (Virginia). +++ Most of the major Russian rivers flow North, because the Siberian Plain tilts very gently down to the North, and is fringed by mountains all along its Southern side.
The Tigris River flows through Turkey, Iraq, and joins the Euphrates River in southern Iraq to form the Shatt al-Arab River that empties into the Persian Gulf.
The source is most likely to be in the mountains because water can't flow downhill.
The altitude of a mountain makes the water flow down faster while a flat plain lets the water just sit there.
The Peace River is located in Canada. Originating in the Rocky Mountains of northern British Columbia, the river empties into the Slave River.
