DELTA :
Formed due to deposition of alluvial matter by a river in its lower course when meeting sea / ocean

Answer:
1. Alluvial soils are soils deposited by surface water. You'll find them along rivers, in floodplains and deltas (like the Mississippi Delta), stream terraces, and areas called alluvial fans. This last category results from larger floods, causing the soil to spread out in the shape of a triangle fan.
2. A basin is a depression, or dip, in the Earth's surface. ... The major types of basins are river drainage basins, structural basins, and ocean basins. River Drainage Basins. A river drainage basin is an area drained by a river and all of its tributaries. A river basin is made up of many different watersheds.
3. a branch of a river that does not return to the main stream after leaving it (as in a delta).
4. Deltas are wetlands that form as rivers empty their water and sediment into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. Although very uncommon, deltas can also empty into land. A river moves more slowly as it nears its mouth, or end
5. Irrigation is the artificial application of water to land for the purpose of agricultural production. ... Irrigation systems should encourage plant growth while minimising salt imbalances, leaf burns, soil erosion, and water loss.
