Wind carrying sand grains deposits the sand when the wind slows down or hits an obstacle.

If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity
Definition1/16

The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry. Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the stream's capacity also decreases.
