Streams have a detectable current, while rivers do not. true or false.

The statement streams have a detectable current, while rivers do not is false.

Further Explanations:

A stream is defined as the segment of water flowing within a bank, bed of a tributary controlled by groundwater, surface water, and subsurface water. The subsurface and the  surface water current varies with change in climate as during rainy season it experiences heavy flow while the intensity of the flow of groundwater remains almost the same. Rivers are natural flowing watercourse, generally,freshwater flowing into an ocean, sea and another river. In some instances river even flows into the ground before reaching any other water source.  

Both streams and rivers have detectable currents that can even be calculated. Current is defined as the flow of water in the river or stream in the direction in the direction of flow. This current which can be observed and calculated are considered as detectable current.
