Buffer zones, such as riparian vegetation, play a crucial role in preventing pollution and sediment from entering streams. These natural barriers absorb runoff, filter out contaminants, and stabilize soil, reducing erosion. Additionally, implementing best management practices (BMPs) like sediment traps, silt fences, and constructed wetlands can further mitigate the introduction of harmful substances into waterways. Together, these strategies enhance water quality and protect aquatic ecosystems.

What is the rock and soil deposited by streams called?
Sediment
When do streams and rivers deposit sediment?
When their velocity decreases
What is carried by streams and deposited on the bottom of lake?
sediment
Are the great lakes are salt water?
They are fresh water. They are fed by rivers, streams, glaciers, and are above sea level, so they drain into the sea which prevents the salt water entering the lakes..

What are rocks snd soil deposited by streams called?
they are deposited by sediment
Where do streams carry the largest part of there load at?
Streams carry the largest part of their load near their source, where they have the most energy and ability to transport sediment. As streams move downstream and lose energy, they deposit sediment in the form of gravel, sand, silt, and clay.
Do all streams carry sediment?
Yes, because it erodes
If the temperature increases in the water of lakes and streams then what type of pollution may occur?
thermal pollution
What are two main sources of sediment that rivers and streams carry?
Silt and clay.
Why is sediment deposited in coastal areas?
The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.
