Deposition
It drops the material. This is called deposition :)

It is simply called tributaries.... +2348129212358
When silt or soil is deposited at the mouth of a river it often creates a landform called a river delta.
The Zambezi River
Moving water drops sediments it is carrying when its velocity slows down. This can happen when the water enters a wider channel, encounters obstacles like rocks or vegetation, or when the gradient of the river decreases, allowing sediments to settle out of suspension.
Where a river drops down into a valley is called a "waterfall." This occurs when the river flows over a steep drop or cliff, creating a dramatic descent. Waterfalls can vary in height and volume, and they are often characterized by the stunning visual and auditory experience of cascading water. Additionally, the area around waterfalls can be rich in biodiversity and serve as important ecological zones.
Drops of water are called droplets.
Tiny drops are called droplets.
The carrying capacity of a river refers to the maximum amount of sediment or material that the river can transport downstream. It is influenced by factors such as the river's flow rate, sediment load, and channel characteristics. Exceeding the carrying capacity can result in erosion or sediment deposition, impacting river ecosystems and infrastructure.
