alluvium

Sediments laid down by streams and rivers. The most common constituents are clay, silt, and gravel. The loose, unconsolidated material forms features such as river terraces, flood plains, and deltas.

Alluvium is deposited along the river channel where the water's velocity is too low to transport the river's load - for example, on the inside bend of a meander.
