A slow current could be due to the width of the river: rivers that are quite wide tend to have slower current, or current that seems slow to the person watching on its banks. Shallowness may also contribute to the slowness, as well as dams upstream or the fact that the river is drying up.
It could also be due to perception. It may seem slow, but if scientifically measured during the time of spring melt or spring run-off with waters being fed by the mountains, versus the time that rivers are running quite low, it may not actually be slow at all.
