Because you are adding more water, which makes the discharge greater.
The discharge for a single stream should not change much from the headwater to the mouth. The exceptions to the mouth would be if another stream joined the main stream, which would increase the discharge or if you loose a significant amount of water to infilitration, which would decrease the discharge. The gradient should be high at the headwaters and gradually decrease downstream where it should be low at the mouth. Of course differences in lithologies or secondary streams can change the gradient for a short distance, thought the overall profile should fit the expected model.

large boats?
A riverboat with a steam powered engine that could travel either upstream or downstream was called a steam boat.

A faster moving stream typically has more discharge because it is able to transport a greater volume of water downstream within a given amount of time. Slower moving streams have less discharge as they are not moving water as quickly.

No, a stream's discharge does not remain the same throughout its course. Discharge can vary due to factors such as precipitation, evaporation, and tributary inflow. Typically, discharge increases downstream as more water is added from tributaries and runoff. However, it may decrease in areas where water is lost through infiltration or evaporation.
The carrying capacity of a stream is influenced by its discharge and velocity. A higher discharge and velocity typically allow a stream to transport larger sediments and materials downstream, increasing its carrying capacity. Conversely, lower discharge and velocity may limit the stream's ability to carry sediment and materials.
