The speed of water flow is the current.
The speed of vessels traveling over water may be measured in 'knots" (meaning nautical miles per hour).
velocity
The term for increasing speed is accelerating.
The technical term for the speed of water is "flow rate," which refers to the volume of water passing through a specific point over a certain period of time. This is commonly measured in cubic meters per second (m³/s) or liters per minute (L/min).
The technical term for the speed of a river is velocity.
With regard to boating, the term Speed of Advance can refer to either the speed of the boat through the water as a function of prop rotation only (no current or drift effects), or the particular speed a boat must maintain in order to cover a specific distance in a specific amount time.
The term for the speed of speech is "rate" and the term for the speed of movement is "velocity."
Not the speed of sound.
Velocity is the term for speed in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity that includes both the speed and direction of an object's motion.
