When a salt is added to water, it dissolves into its component molecules until as many salt ions as the water can hold are floating around the hydrogen and oxygen molecules. When this happens, the solution is "saturated." As more salt is dissolved, sodium and chlorine ions bump into each other and re-combine into crystals of salt. This event is called "precipitation" because the solid that is formed falls to the bottom of the water. Salts are "hydrophilic," meaning they are attracted to water. This attraction facilitates a more familiar type of precipitation; raindrops form around minute salt crystals in clouds, giving rain its slightly salty

What happens when the river is running quickly?
When a river is in flood (in spate) the extra volume of water means an increase in the force the water that can exert on the river banks and river bed. There is also an increase in the silt content of the water, which means that in the lower reaches, where it may be calmer, there is an increase in deposition of the silt.
