Thanks for your answer and information. The main purpose of my question is to get information on water flow in cubic meters per second. For example, through NASA, we can get wind speed and sunshine information. Is there such a way to get information related to water flow?

@Shir Ahmad Dost Mohammadi

There are only regional Data sources Like

https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/rt

http://environment.data.gov.uk/hydrology/explore

https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/river-flow-3/assessment

There will be no Main system for all because of the gouvernance structure in water area.

Feel free to contact us for more Help. We Work in Micro Hydro systems since years and have an own Test system.

You need some experimental results....in case there is no secondary available data "gauged river".

If on one of the sides of a large and heavy (for example, 10 kg) wheel you place a heavy (for example, 5 kg) object with its own wheel and ensure that it is kept stationary as shown in the figure, the large wheel will immediately begin to rotate as the object makes one of the halves of the large wheel much heavier than the other half https://makeagif.com/i/xi0JAD, https://makeagif.com/i/i8enXB, https://makeagif.com/i/at1DHK.

I suggest using a new method of converting gravitational force into a rotational motion that does not require availability rivers or streams.

You may need to run through some rainfall-runoff models to generate data. However, observed data is also helpful.
