When stream discharge increases, more water is flowing through a corridor. To accommodate that, the water will rise in the channel. Depending on the geometry of the channel, the width of wetted water surface may increase as the water fills a different geometry. If the width of the cross-sectional geometry is constant, however, only depth will increase, along with velocity.
When a stream's discharge increases, erosive energy increases.
After a stream's discharge increases, it overflows its banks and a flood occurs.

Melting snow increases runoff in spring
When the discharge of a stream increases, so does it's velocity. When it decreases, so does the velocity.
Melting snow increases runoff in spring.
increase
If in a given stream the velocity doubles, the discharge: Choose one answer
stream discharge is the amount of water flowing through a space OR increases between its source or mouth
The width of the stream will increase as the order increases
true
The total volume of flow in streams is termed discharge.
