Answer 1

Sedimentation accumulation found in bodies of water can be the result of erosion from the agricultural practices.

Sedimentation is the process wherein particulate matter is displaced from its point of origin and then deposited somewhere else such as water bodies or land.

Although sedimentation is a natural by-product of erosion, it is enhanced due to certain natural or man-made forces.
