Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Silting

👉 Silting is a phenomenon in which the water level in a channel or body of water gradually comes to rest, causing it to become filled with sediment. This occurs when the water level rises above its natural level and becomes stagnant, preventing movement and flow. Silting can be caused by various factors such as erosion, damming, flooding, or changes in the water's flow.
