Generation

Sediment transport is the movement of solid particles (like sand, silt, and gravel) by flowing water, wind, or ice. The flow must have enough energy to overcome the particle's weight and friction with the bed—fine particles are easily lifted into suspension, while coarser ones like pebbles typically roll or bounce along the bottom. As flow velocity increases, transport capacity increases dramatically, which is why floods move so much more sediment than normal flows. Where flow slows down, like at a river delta or behind an obstacle, the transported sediment settles out and gets deposited.
