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.
