Gravity, rivers flow downhill
Most rivers with a large sediment load also exhibit fast flow because swift currents are necessary to transport and suspend heavier particles. The increased velocity of the water provides the energy needed to overcome the gravitational pull on the sediment. Additionally, fast-flowing rivers often have steep gradients and turbulent flow conditions, which contribute to their ability to erode and carry sediment efficiently. This dynamic interplay between flow speed and sediment transport is crucial for shaping riverbanks and landscapes.
They flow into 'The Tigris' and 'Ufratis' rivers!

Fast moving rivers are capable of carrying larger rock particles than slow moving rivers.
