Encarta Answers  | Alluvium: Silt, sand, clay, gravel, or similar loose material deposited by flowing water. Alluvium usually occurs at any point where the velocity of fast-running water is abruptly slowed and the carrying capacity of the flow is reduced to a point where transport of the sediment is no longer possible. |
