Understand P or Get Off the Pond : Courtney E. Rickett and Matt Rayl

What happens when a pond starts to fill in with surrounding sediment? Upstream dirt begins to move downhill and stops as soon as it gets to our pond. Over time, sometimes slowly or sometimes quickly, water starts to disappear, replaced by added shoreline, reduced depth, and wetland plants pop up everywhere. Small trees and brush appear, and the area that used to be water is no more.
