River Depth: Middle Course vs. Upper Course

No, the middle course of a river is not deeper than the upper course. River depth generally increases from source to mouth. The upper course, closer to the source, is typically shallower because water hasn't yet eroded the bed deeply. As the river flows downstream, it accumulates more water and power, eroding the bed more deeply. The deepest point is usually in the lower course near the mouth.
