Silting of a lake is when very fine particles of sand or clay fill the bed of the lake. The bed of the lake rises, which can cause flooding.

Silting is a great problem because it makes the river bed shallower so river channels would hold less water. And the floods are frequent in these areas.

ANSWERED BY SANIA TARIQ

Silting refers to the build-up of silt on the bottom of the harbor or port. This build-up or silting will reduce the effective depth of the harbor or port, and dredging will have to be conducted to remove it to restore depth to the port. Silting results from the emptying of a river or waterway into a bay where the port is located, or it could result from the action of tides and/or currents in the ocean. Any of these represent the action of moving water, and when water moves, it can carry with in any number of things, including fine sediment that settles out as silt.

Removing the forest vegetation increases soil erosion. That soil is washed out into waterways when it rains, increasing the particulate matter in waterways.
