secondary sedimentation
Explanation:
Proposition. I do not think this is silting/siltation, which pertain to soil particles.

Siltation is the pollution of water by particulate terrestrial clastic material, with a particle size dominated by silt or clay. It refers both to the increased concentration of suspended sediments, and to the increased accumulation (temporary or permanent) of fine sediments on bottoms where they are undesirable.

Treated wastewater effluent from Las Vegas, Nevada and surrounding communities' flow through Las Vegas Wash (LVW) into the Lake Mead National Recreational Area at Las Vegas Bay (LVB). Lake sediment is a likely sink for many hydrophobic synthetic organic compounds (SOCs); however, partitioning between the sediment and the overlying water could result in the sediment acting as a secondary contaminant source.

lake, bottom sediments, phosphorus fractions, water mixing, human impact

In lakes the bottom sediments are built by mineral and
organic substances removed from the water during the
processes of precipitation, sorption and sedimentation.

They play a significant role in the functioning of the
ecosystem, related to the possibility of secondary release
of these substances
