A stream gauge is the instrument which is commonly used for the measurement of velocity stream.
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
The higher the velocity of the stream the larger carrying capacity it has.
Speed and direction determine 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 a stream's discharge increases, erosive energy increases.
At what depth should a velocity sensor be placed to estimate a stream's average velocity if it is 12.5 meters deep?
In the middle, I think
The Velocity
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.

If in a given stream the velocity doubles, the discharge: Choose one answer
the competence and capacity of a steam depend on a streams velocity and discharge. Because the velocity and discharge of a given stream are not constant , the competence and capacity of a stream are not constant . competence and capacity vary along a stream and change throughout the year.
