Fed by glacial waters from the mountains, silt is responsible for the extraordinary azure of the water, which changes colour throughout the year.

The cause of the woes for those living along the banks of Kosi could be the 1,082 million tonnes of silt that has been deposited in the river in the last 54 years.

To eliminate the unpleasant smell of silt immediately after catching, put all carcasses in a deep bucket or container.

In the study published in the journal Global and Planetary ChangesZanskar catchment was explored by WIHG team to understand the landform evolution in transitional climatic zone, using morpho stratigraphy and provenance study of landforms like valley fill terraces, alluvial fans (triangle-shaped deposit of gravel, sand, and even smaller pieces of sediment, such as silt).

The world's first dock at Lothal in modern Gujarat (2400 BCE) was located away from the main sea currents to avoid deposition of silt, thereby indicating possession of considerable knowledge of oceanography, hydrography and maritime engineering.
