Excerpt from Early American Soil Conservationists Eliot's ideas regarding sedimentation were substantially the same. He believed that the richness of the valleys was caused by deposition of fine material washed from the hills, and that most water contained fine particles of soil. Turner, who helped edit his essays, observed that a foot or two of sediment might be accumulated in a short time. To determine the amount of matter in suspension, Eliot performed several experiments in which he evaporated various types of water. Rain water, he found, contained but little foreign material.
