Very slow moving water will not have the power to transport large particles like boulders and cobbles. Sand particles can be transported in slow-moving water, but only if they are suspended in the water column. However, silt particles are small enough to be easily transported by even the slowest moving water, making them the most likely size to be transported in slow-moving water.
