The Grand River is a tributary of Lake Erie, 102.7 miles (165.3 km) long, [2] in northeastern Ohio in the United States. [3] Via Lake Erie, the Niagara River and Lake Ontario , it is part of the watershed of the St. Lawrence River , which flows to the Atlantic Ocean .
The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second. The estimated global total for all rivers is 1.2 × 10 6 m 3 /s (43 million cu ft/s), [ 1 ] of which the Amazon would be approximately 18%.
The slope of the water table is known as the “hydraulic gradient”, which depends on the rate at which water is added to and removed from the aquifer and the permeability of the material. The water table does not always mimic the topography due to variations in the underlying geological structure (e.g., folded, faulted, fractured bedrock).
The water in this stream forms varying currents as it makes its way downhill. In hydrology, a current in a water body is the flow of water in any one particular direction. The current varies spatially as well as temporally, dependent upon the flow volume of water, stream gradient, and channel geometry.
This 503-mile river flows from Ohio to Indiana, and ends in Illinois, draining into the Ohio River, making it the largest northern tributary of Ohio's namesake river. 3. Scioto River—231 miles

Big Creek is a 15.6-mile-long (25.1 km) tributary of the Grand River and flows through Lake and Geauga counties in Ohio. [1] It rises in glacial till near Chardon, Ohio, and cuts through the Defiance Moraine [2] on its way north and exposes rock formations from the Paleozoic Era, including the fossiliferous Chagrin Shale.

The Ohio River forms its southern border, though nearly all of the river itself belongs to Kentucky and West Virginia. Significant rivers within the state include the Cuyahoga River, Great Miami River, Maumee River, Muskingum River, and Scioto River. The rivers in the northern part of the state drain into the northern Atlantic Ocean via Lake ...
