Siltation

06/26/25

“What happens when too much silt or clay reaches the bottom of a river?”

Rivers run best when there’s a fine balance of water and soil on their river bed. When too much silt or clay fills up the river bed, it can clog the river and hurt the existing ecosystem. This Siltation process is can heavily damage rivers of all kinds, and water body managers need to keep track of these developments.
