If a stream is choked with sediment and has insufficient water to carry it away the water will pick its way through as a braided stream.
What transpires when the river's silt level is too high?
- The prevention of plant growth leads to a decrease in soil binding and an increase in silt.
- The river narrows as a result of sediment buildup when silt is supplied in increasing quantities while river flow declines owing to dry conditions.
- Excessive sedimentation causes channels to become unstable as well as channel aggradation (the vertical elevation of river beds), a decrease in flood capacity, and potentially increased bank erosion.
