Difference between Sediment control and Silt

Sediment control vs. Silt

A sediment control is a practice or device designed to keep eroded soil on a construction site, so that it does not wash off and cause water pollution to a nearby stream, river, lake, or sea. Silt is granular material of a size between sand and clay, whose mineral origin is quartz and feldspar.

Similarities between Sediment control and Silt

Sediment control and Silt have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Construction, Erosion, Erosion control, Nonpoint source pollution, Silt fence, Soil, Turbidity.

Construction

Construction is the process of constructing a building or infrastructure.

Erosion

In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement).

Erosion control

Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development, coastal areas, river banks and construction.

Nonpoint source pollution

Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is a term used to describe pollution resulting from many diffuse sources, in direct contrast to point source pollution which results from a single source.

Silt fence

A silt fence, sometimes (misleadingly) called a "filter fence," is a temporary sediment control device used on construction sites to protect water quality in nearby streams, rivers, lakes and seas from sediment (loose soil) in stormwater runoff.

Soil

Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.

Turbidity

Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air.
