Of deposits carried by rushing streams to where they slow down (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alluvial

(Other definitions for alluvial that I've seen before include "Sort of deposit" , "Made of sand and soil left by rivers" , "Caused by or benefiting from flooding" , "Of river-deposited silt" , "Made of sand and soil left by river or flood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
