Many rivers are born in higher areas of land, or uplands. Rainwater, melting snow, and water oozing out of bogs trickles into streams. As they flow downhill, these streams meet other streams and a river is formed. Some rivers begin in the lowlands- their water comes from natural springs that rise from subterranean water stores, such as chalk formations.

Increasing the steepness of a river's bed is LEAST likely to change the size of the discharge of a stream and the?
Increasing the steepness of the river's bed will have no direct effect on the size of the discharge of a stream. Discharge is primarily influenced by the volume of water flowing in the river. Steepness may impact the speed of the water flow and erosion processes, but it won't directly affect discharge size.
