nounsiltage (uncountable)
- uncountableA mass of silt.
In some areas it was serious, and it caused siltage. The effect of siltage on reservoirs was to reduce their efficiency. The authority estimated, in 1936, that about one third of the storage capacity of the Hales Bar Reservoir had been lost to siltage in twenty-three years.
