In the lower course there is an absence of large rocks and the river channel, being wider and deeper applies less friction to the flow. It is this absence of friction, which creates the smooth channel that allows the velocity of rivers to increase despite the more shallow gradient of the channel.
Analysis of some of the large number of velocity measurements made at stream-gaging stations demonstrates that mean velocity generally tends to increase downstream.
Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity.
The flow and speed of rivers and streams are influenced by various factors, such as: The slope gradient, which is the drop of the elevation of a river. The steeper the slope, the faster the river. The roughness of the channel, which is the amount of friction caused by irregularities in the riverbed.
The velocity of a stream usually increases downstream. The gradient (slope) of the stream typically decreases but gravity, elimination of bed roughness and an increase in the amount of water from the entry of tributaries tends to increase the velocity.

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, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity.
Velocity increases as more water is added to rivers via tributary rivers. This means that less of the water is in contact with the bed of the river and the mouth so there is less energy used to overcome friction. Hence rivers flow progressively faster on their journey downstream.
As one moves along a stream in the downstream direction: Discharge increases, as noted above, because water is added to the stream from tributary streams and groundwater. As discharge increases, the width, depth, and average velocity of the stream increase. The gradient of the stream, however, will decrease.
