Answer:

Slowest at the bottom

Step-by-step explanation:

Water flow in a stream is primarily related to the stream's gradient, but it is also controlled by the geometry of the stream channel. water flow velocity is decreased by friction along the stream bed, so it is slowest at the bottom and edges and fastest near the surface and in the middle.

I hope this helps
