A dam or weir
it slows the streams flow
The Himalayas make the river flow south
the quicker a river flows the less dirt can stay in the river making it clearer
The gradient decreases with distance from the river source because water flow gradually slows down as it moves away from the source. This slowing of water flow is influenced by factors such as friction, changes in the river channel morphology, and the accumulation of sediment. Consequently, the decrease in gradient is a natural outcome of these processes as the river meanders and transports materials downstream.
An earthquake can significantly affect a river running perpendicular to the fault by causing changes in its course and flow dynamics. The seismic activity may trigger landslides, altering the river's path, or create new channels due to sediment displacement. Additionally, ground shaking can lead to changes in the riverbed elevation, which could impact water levels and flow rates. These effects can result in flooding or drought conditions downstream, depending on the nature of the changes.
decreased water flow
It effects in working capital changes in cash flow
The water table is the level below the ground where soil and rocks are saturated with water. The flow of a river is influenced by the water table because it can affect the amount of water available to feed the river. When the water table is high, it can contribute to increased flow in the river. Conversely, a low water table may result in reduced flow in the river.
Tributaries flow into another river and become part of it, therefore they make that river larger.
Amount of water in the river and the Wind... Slope of the river and size of the river both affect how fast a river flows.
Gravity makes higher and lower water flow which makes it deaper or shallower.
