silt is found in many places other than rivers and can be any mineral content. it can be produced by any means of erosion, wind, water, glacial, etc.

Yay! Dictionaries exist! Silt (noun) fine sand, clay, or other material carried by running water and deposited as a sediment, especially in a channel or harbor.

Silt also happens to be in Bays. I live in NYC and they were talking for a while about dredging up the silt in the bay that LaGuardia Airport is on.

Also in bays. In NYC they have spoken about dredging the silt near the airports where the bays are. They figured that dredging it up would create more of a pollution problem than leaving it alone.

Nutshell, I'm from August 2020 and wonder how many people in the comments are still alive. We are living in strange times.

A Silt Fence is used to keep "Silt" out of the storm drains and ditches and going to a major body of water. It would more be the consistency of water and dirt(sand). I should have not gotten that one wrong
