With that slowdown, the sediment slows or stops moving, so it is just dumped at the mouth of the river. ... When "dirty" water in the river (water that has clay particles suspended in it) hits the ocean it mixes with salty sea water.

Answer:
As we know that sand particles are already bigger in size, they settle down quickly when the river meets sea water but the size of clay ranges in colloidal range so the clay are also known as colloidal particles. ... Therefore, this is the reason for the formation of delta at the meeting point of sea water and river water.
