Take the elevation from an upstream point on the river and the elevation from a point downstream on the river. Calculate the difference in the two elevations. Measure the distance between the two points by tracing the path of the river. Divide the difference in the two elevations by the distance between the two points in order to get the slope of the river, or the river gradient.
In 2013, the average elevation of Lake Superior was 601.71 ft (183 m). The St. Lawrence River begins at the outlet of Lake Ontario at an elevation of 74.7 m (245 ft) and flows to the Atlantic Ocean where the elevation is zero (sea level). So the difference in elevation between the Lake and the River ranges from about 357 feet to about 602 feet, depending on where on the River you measure.
The elevation of the Colorado river is 541ft

If you can find the respective locations on Google Earth, it will give you the elevations for both.
The Thames elevation is 110 meters, 361ft.
Elevation change from Grandview (1157 ft) to Mon River (710 ft) is 447 ft.
The Clark Fork River is located in Montana and Idaho. The highest elevation of the river is at Mount Evans in Montana at 10,641 feet.
The elevation at the source of the Mohawk River is 920 feet above sea level. It flows steadily southeast until it reaches the Hudson River where the elevation of its mouth is 10 feet above see level.
