Why do river levels be at their highest a few days after heavy rain?
There is a delay as the rain soaks into the ground or runs off the watershed down to a river or stream. This delay means that hours or days after heavy rain river levels rise. After a long drought the ground may be so hard the water runs straight into the river system, hence flash flood after droughts.

Is white water rafting dangerous in rain?
Severe rains can cause flash flooding, a rapid rise in the height and speed of the river, which means an increased level of difficulty for rafters. It doesn't have to rain where the rafter is in order for the flood to impact him; the rain can occur far upstream. Also the severe rain can cause the mud-rock flow from the two sides of the river, because the most rafting site is in the river which locate in the middle of the mountains.
Why is the velocity and height of a river not affected by heavy rains until a few days after the rain?
The majority of the water that enters a creek after rain does not do so immediately. Every river and river system has what is called a catchment area. Any water that falls in this catchment will tend to flow in to the creek or river, either by natural gullies, or man made drains.The point is that it will not do so immediately, and depending on the size of the river and the size of its catchment area, this may take several days.Another (and perhaps more significant) reason may be that the new rise in water level is due to rain that happened up-steam. The whole river does not rise at once, of course: the new water (and a new water level) must flow downstream. So if there was rain up-steam of your location it may take some time for the river to be effected down-stream.
