What water Carry medium-sized objects?
Rivers and streams can carry medium-sized objects like rocks, logs, or branches due to the force of the flowing water. These objects can be transported downstream by the current until they get stuck or reach a calmer body of water.
Why is the water table going in big cities?
In open fields some rain water makes its way through the ground to the water table. Other water drains across the fields to streams. Some of that water drains down to the water table. Many cities no longer permit rain water to percolate into the water table but divert it to storm sewers. That water then goes either to rivers downstream or out to the ocean.

Why is the glacier melting a threat to water supplies?
The lower parts of glaciers melt and the water flows to fill the rivers downstream. If global warming causes the whole glacier to melt, then the rivers will lose their mountain supply and the lives of people downstream, who rely on water for living and agriculture will be threatened.
Where does the energy for rivers come from?
The energy for rivers primarily comes from gravity. Water flows downhill due to gravity, creating the kinetic energy that moves the water downstream. Additionally, sunlight provides energy for the water cycle which drives the movement of water in rivers.
What is the definition of a water-table?
A water-table is the water system of two rivers traveling through various regions.
Do all rivers flow north to south?
No. The water flows downstream. Correction, I believe the Amazon flows upstream
What rivers flows in to the bay?
Water, which is in rivers and bays, looks for the lowest point it can get to. That is why when you spill water it runs off the table. That and gravity. The water in rivers flows to bays for the same reason water falls from the table. Gravity is pushing it down and the water is looking for the lowest point.
What is downstream flooding?
Downstream flooding refers to the overflow of water in river systems, typically occurring when excessive rainfall or snowmelt causes rivers to exceed their capacity. This type of flooding affects areas located downstream from the source of the water, where the volume of water accumulates as it flows downstream. It can lead to significant property damage, displacement of residents, and environmental impacts. Effective flood management and early warning systems are crucial to mitigate the risks associated with downstream flooding.
How do check dams help in increasing ground water level?
The dams keep the water from running downstream so it soaks into the ground and increases the water table.
Is a lake one result of the water table reaching the surface?
Yes. Rivers, lakes, and springs occur when the water table reaches the surface.
Does gravity cause rivers the flow?
No, gravity does not directly cause rivers to flow. Rivers flow due to the force of gravity pulling the water downstream. The elevation gradient along the river channel allows the water to move from higher to lower elevations, creating the flow of the river.
