Mountain rivers are characterized by high slope and flow velocity, insignificant depth, frequent rapids and waterfalls, dominated washed out processes. The gradient of mountain river is calculated at 60–80 m/km in upper stream and 5–10 m/km in lower. More precisely it is greater than or equal to 0.002 m/m along most of its stream length. Speed of stream is measured at 1 to 4.5 m/s and higher.
Mountain rivers have significant hydro energy producing potential and in arid conditions often used for irrigation.
