accumulated
Explanation:
I would say accumulated if I was referring to a river bank and did not want to use the word deposit. I'm a native speaker and this is the second word that comes to mind. I hope this helps.

Ewentualnie skorzystałbym jeszcze ze słowa "fluvial".

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fluvial

Example sentence(s):
  • Aggradation involves the raising of the streambed elevation, an increase in width/depth ratio, and a corresponding decrease in channel capacity.
  • Excess sediment deposition in the channel and on floodplains is characteristic of the aggrading river.

Notes to answerer
Asker: czy nie jest to słowo dwuznaczne? mogą gromadzić ten materiał w swoim biegu

Asker: Z Internetu: Sediment aprons in the proximity of major rivers often hold continuous records of terrestrial material accumulated by the river over time, she said.
