Where is the speed of the flowing water in a river the slowest Explain-?

These are some things that cause the speed of water to slow down. Broad flat channels slow a river down, a rough channel will also slow the water down. Basically, anything that increases the surface area of a body of water, against which water flows will slow it down, this is due to the increase of friction. In addition, water flows slowest at the margins of a river, if the river is winding, water will flow slower at the inside curves.
