Current and Velocity

Current: This factor is when the water exerts a force on organism in the stream.

It affects wildlife by pushing a force on them and it pushes them down steam.

Velocity: Velocity is the rate at which the stream flows. A steams velocity can work to change its course and its depth. It doesn't really affect wildlife. Human affect it by taking water out and building new routes for the river and streams.
