Yea
rate of stream discharge is directly proportional to the erosion i.e the higher the velocity of the stream then it will erode the rock rapidly while the deposition process will be slow when the velocity will be high.
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.
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.
If in a given stream the velocity doubles, the discharge: Choose one answer
The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry. Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the stream's capacity also decreases.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.

After a stream's discharge increases, it overflows its banks and a flood occurs.

Water.
a discharge of a stream is the amount of water flowing past a certain point in a given unit of time.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is small.
