Stream velocity is dependent of four things. They are, the flow type, the gradient, the channel shape, and the discharge of the stream. Streams will flow faster in narrow channels on steeper grades.

Is a jet stream faster or slower in the winter?
the answer is FASTER. so it is: Jet stream moves faster in the winter. :)
Where is the velocity of a stream fastest?
In the middle, I think
What is stream velocity?
another way to kil someone
How does a stream carry materials?
Stream load is when solid matter is carried by a stream. Stream capacity depends on the velocity, the amount of water flow and the grade.
Which part of the stream system has the highest average flow velocity?
the middle of the stream and just under the surface
Why one stream could be flowing faster than the other stream?
The velocity of the water in a stream increases when the stream gets narrower or shallower (or both).
Stream gradient role on stream velocity?
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
Stream velocity does it have anything to do with discharge of stream or stream elevation?
Stream discharge physically depends on two factors: stream cross-sectional area and velocity. Area is composed of width and depth. Q (flow) = vel x width x depth. Stream elevation change, or how steep a stream is, will affect the velocity. Higher sloping streams (like those with few meanders) will travel faster than sinuous, snaking streams that have a lower elevation drop per length of stream.
What is an instrment commonly used for measurement of velocity of stream?
A stream gauge is the instrument which is commonly used for the measurement of velocity stream.
How does the velocity of a stream effect its carring capacity?
The higher the velocity of the stream the larger carrying capacity it has.
What factors determine velocity of stream?
Speed and direction determine velocity
Is a jet stream faster or slower in the winter?
the answer is FASTER. so it is: Jet stream moves faster in the winter. :)
What is the difference between stream discharge and stream velocity?
Stream discharge is a product of the velocity and the area of the stream (velocity x width x depth), and has units of volume per time (e.g. cubic feet per second, cubic meter per day, etc). Stream velocity is the vector describing the speed of the water and has units of length per time (feet per second, meter per second). Stream discharge is relatively constant as you move up and down a stream, while velocity will change predominately as you change depth. The velocity of water is lowest near the bed of the stream, and highest at the surface.
When the discharge of a stream increases what happens to the streams velocity?
When a stream's discharge increases, erosive energy increases.
What depth should a velocity sensor be placed to estimate a stream's average velocity if it's 12.5 meters deep?
At what depth should a velocity sensor be placed to estimate a stream's average velocity if it is 12.5 meters deep?
Where is the velocity of a stream fastest?
