Another significant source of pollution in our rivers and streams is sediment eroding from disturbed land. The sediment increases the turbidity of the water, hinders light transmission, smothers aquatic organisms, and transports other pollutants. Both aquatic plant and animal life are affected by this pollutant. The largest source of soft sediment from erosion is typically construction sites where land has been disturbed.
