Deposition is the transfer
of sediment from the sediment load to the soil surface.
Deposition reduces sediment
load.
Sediment can be deposited
immediately near where it is detached.This deposition is called local deposition.Examples of local deposition include
deposition in depressions and row middles.
Sediment can also be
deposited at some distance (10’s of feet) from where it was detached.This deposition is known as remote
deposition.Examples of this
deposition is deposition on concave slopes, at the upper edge of grass
strips, and in terrace channels and impoundments.
