- Clay or silt or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down
- Soil, clay, silt or gravel deposited by flowing water, as it slows, in a river bed, delta, estuary or flood plain
- Deposits of earth, sand, gravel, and other transported matter, made by rivers, floods, or other causes, upon land not permanently submerged beneath the waters of lakes or seas.
- A deposit, usually of mingled sand and mud, resulting from the action of fluviatile currents: applied by geologists to the most recent sedimentary deposits, especially such as occur in the valleys of large rivers: opposed to diluvium (which see).
