Clay
The finer material holds more water. The granular size of Clay, Silt and Sand are in this order (smallest to largest):ClaySiltSandSo Clay holds the most water, then Silt, Then Sand.This can be disproved if one is dry and the other is wet or other variations of this idea obviously.*This is one of those question where I wish wiki Answers would allow commas.
three facts about silt are that one is that silt is a type of ,two is that there is more then one type of silt in the word ,and silt is rough.
1. Rock materials that are found in soil are mainly sand, silt and clay.
Silt and soil are most deposited in the water and then it goes in to the rivers or oceans :)
More silt is typically found in flatlands compared to mountains. Flatlands have more opportunity for sediment deposits to accumulate and settle, while mountains have rough terrain and faster water flow that can carry away silt more effectively.
I'm not a scientist but I myself, think that erosion is greater on a mountain slope. This is due to gravitational pull on soil, rocks, water... Being pulled down therefore, causing erosion. This is just my opinion.
you can find silt in dirt. it is also found in streams & rivers when the water washes away some soil.

I know for a fact silt is found along the banks of the Nile after a flood
Silt is one type of material found on the bottom of a stream. Silt is fine and can be carried along in moving water, but is heavyier than water, so settles out of the water as it slows. It can be organic or mineral.

Sea water is more commonly used simply because it is easier to source; brackish water is usually found in swamps and other low pressure, high silt areas. Also brackish water tends to be found in estuaries and other delicate ecosystems where pumping thousands of gallons of water out could be disastrous.

Silt is basically very fertile soil that was usually at the bottom of the Nile. When it flooded the water and silt went to the rose and gave nutrients to the places around it making the land better for crops like papyrus and cotton.
