Excerpt from The Transporting Capacity of Currents of Water
That there are critical velocities at which the materials carried by the water are deposited, or are taken up again seems to be the usual theory, but experimental data with materials not in suspension seem to show that the velocities at which materials are deposited are exceedingly small, providing the surfaces in contact offer little resistance.
