Water level stabilization accelerates the aging process of lake by allowing build-up of excess plant life, sediment, and muck created from dying plant life.

He allowed sediment to gather in the bottom of his measure so that it contained less.

Black Eagle Dam (which slows the water and allows sediment to fall to the bottom of the reservoir) has been listed as one of the contributing sources of this problem.

Coral reefs serve as bulwarks that allow sediment to accumulate between them and the shore, cutting off sediment supply to deeper water.

To allow sediment to pass the lower Seto Reservoir, a bypass tunnel was constructed.

Also kegs have a simple concave bottom whilst the barrel or cask design allowed sediment to be retained in the cask.

These beds are formed where plants were once standing and caused a decrease in bed shear, allowing sediment to deposit near their base.

A giant mud lake exists behind the dam to allow sediment to collect and settle to prevent the ash flowing down the river from clogging up the Columbia River shipping lanes.

Faulting of the downgoing plate results in a horst and graben structure that allows sediment that reaches the trench to be deposited in graben and carried downward.
