I believe you're asking about a 'current'. An example of one is the Eastern Australian Current.
Steady flow: Water flowing through a pipe at a constant rate with uniform velocity is an example of steady flow. Non-steady flow: Waves in the ocean where the water motion is constantly changing in both intensity and direction represent non-steady flow.
Kinetic energy deals with motion hence powers the wind and flowing water.
Water flowing over a cliff is called a waterfall.
Water is called a stream when flowing in a definite direction.
Water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth is called runoff.
A bridge for carrying water is called an aqueduct.
Hydroelectricity.

Energy produced by flowing water is called hydroelectric energy or hydropower. This renewable energy source is generated by harnessing the kinetic energy of moving water to produce electricity.
