River flow refers to the movement of water within a river channel. It is influenced by various factors, including rainfall, snowmelt, and the terrain through which the river travels. The flow can vary significantly, with higher rates during storms and lower rates during dry periods. The speed and volume of river flow are measured in cubic meters per second (m³/s). This measurement helps in understanding the river's health and its ability to support ecosystems. Additionally, river flow plays a crucial role in activities such as fishing, irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation.
