Gravity pulls down the water, without gravity water would just be floating in the air. Gravity is the reason water continues to flow into streams, and the reason water flows along streams to rivers and lakes. Since it the motion of water along, over, and through things that causes them to erode, gravity is the force driving erosion. Gravity is erosion's engine. Gravity is one of the forces shaping sedimentation

It depends on it the gravity goes down hill or not

The stream's ability to erode and deposit materials is a prime example of how gravity works as these materials get pulled towards the center point of gravity due to them having weight. Without this - there wouldn't exist any erosion and any deposition of materials.

Gravity pulls down the water, if there wasnt any water, the water would be floating in the air 😉
