Water flowing downhill in a large channel is called a River. Deposition creates landforms such as alluvial fans and deltas. It can also add soil to a river's fllod plain.

A channel through which water is continually flowing downhill is a stream. A large channel in soil that carries runoff after a rainstorm is a gully.
Water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth is called runoff.
Rivers, lakes, canals, even sewers are bodies of water that flow downhill in a channel.
Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.

As water is pulled downhill by gravity, its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the water gains speed and momentum while flowing downhill.
A channel where water is continuously flowing down a hill would be described as a stream, or possibly a rivulet, depending on its size.
A stream is typically created when water flows naturally downhill due to gravity, forming a channel or watercourse. This can occur from sources such as springs, melting snow, or rainfall. As the water continues to flow, it erodes the ground and shapes the stream over time.
Because the river water is no longer flowing downhill, the water slows down.
