Question

Is Stream flow down slope?

Answer 1

Gaining streams are perennialstreams: they flow year around. ... Flood Erosion and Deposition: As flood waters rise, the slope of the stream as it flows to its base level (e.g., the ocean or a lake) increases. Also, asstream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making thestream more free flowing

Answer 2

Stream flow has two components. The first is flow velocity, and the second is the volume of water in the stream. Flow velocity is influenced by the slope of the surrounding terrain, the depth of the stream, the width of the stream, and the roughness of the substrate or stream bottom.
