Is flow velocity usually greater at the head or at the mouth of a stream? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


In order to accommodate the growing discharge, channel size increases downstream. With an increased channel size and discharge, there is also an increased flow velocity. Thus, flow velocity tends to be greater at the mouth of a stream.
