What is Alluvial Soil: Characteristics and Uses about?
Alluvial soil is a fertile soil deposited by flowing water in flood plains and river beds. It is composed of clay, silt, sand or gravel carried by streams and deposited when the water slows. There are two types - old alluvium found farther from river beds and less fertile, and new alluvium found closer to river beds that is more fertile and prone to flooding. Alluvial soil formation occurs as rivers erode, transport, and deposit sediments over time. It is an important soil for agriculture.
