hey @DSESGH where is the source because the source from near the caves is not large enough to support the large river we dug...

There are 3 tributaries along the river, which will each have one or two sources. Before the first tributary, the river will stay around as wide and deep as it was before.
 
I am aware of the geography, but even with three tributaries in the short space between the wall and the glittering caves, "the stream" is deeper than the Anduin in most places....
 
I think it looks fine. The river will get a lot smaller after voxelling, that has always been the case.

It won't end up that deep; probably 8 blocks deep at the most, which would be at the end. It was only dug that deep because there's a section in the middle that's at about y15 or so, so it needed to be dug to y8, and of course, you can't raise the digging depth.

Seeing your next question, the low part will be raised with voxel, so the river will not have to flow upwards
