Delta Nila snimljena iz satelita NASA-e
The Ebro River delta at the Mediterranean Sea.
Sacramento–San Joaquin (California) Delta at flood stage, early March 2009.

Rečna delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water.[1][2] This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment, and receiving basin processes that redistribute, sequester, and export that sediment.[3][4] The size, geometry, and location of the receiving basin also plays an important role in delta evolution. River deltas are important in human civilization, as they are major agricultural production centers and population centers.[5] They can provide coastline defense and can impact drinking water supply.[6] They are also ecologically important, with different species' assemblages depending on their landscape position.

Deltom se naziva karakteristični oblik ušća reke. Najpoznatija delta je delta Nila, koja je dobila naziv po sličnosti oblika grčkom slovu delta (Δ) i time postala eponim za sve druge delte širom sveta.

Nastajanje

Nastajanje rečne delte je obeleženo odlaganjem sedimenta koji reka donosi sa sobom. Smanjenjem brzine toka vode kako se približava ušću, smanjuje se i snaga vode kojom nosi razne vrste sedimenta, koji se zbog toga taloži na dno i stvara prepreku. To opet dovodi do toga da voda menja smer kako bi zaobišla prepreku, ili se razdvaja na rukavce. Veće delte se sastoje od niza brže i sporije tekućih ili čak stojećih rukavaca. To, međutim, nije moguće kad reke završavaju u morima sa velikim razlikama između plime i oseke, umesto delte, kod tih se reka stvara levkasti estuari. Kako reka teče u pravilu prema moru odnosno jezeru, kad stigne do vode koja ne teče, odlaže sediment, i time svoju deltu neprekidno „gura” dalje u more. To je vrlo vidljivo na snimku delte Nila.

Oblici delti

Oblici su različiti. Oni zavise od načina zasipanja nanosne ravnice i karaktera račvanja rečnog toka. Razlikuju se tri osnovna tipa delti: trouglaste, polukružne i prstaste.

Trouglaste delte često se nazivaju i kljunastim deltama. Izgrađene su od dveju jednostavnih akumulativnih kosa koje su isturene u more. Primer ovakve delte je delta Tibra.

Polukružne delte imaju izgled lepezaste nanosne ravnice. Ovakav oblik zadobile su zbog čestog migiraranja rečnog ušća pa se nasipanje delte vršilo ravnomerno. Takva je delta Nila.

Prstaste delte karakterišu se prostranom nanosnom ravnicom preko koje se rečni tok račva u brojne rukavce. Svaki od ovih rukavaca ima svoju vlastitu deltu tako da zajednička delta ima izgled ptičje noge. Delta Misisipija ima ovakav oblik a njeni rukavci dostižu i do 15 km dužine. Delta Dunava ima tri kraka: Kilija, Sulina i Sveti Đorđe. [7]

Egzistencijalne pretnje deltama

Human activities in both deltas and the river basins upstream of deltas can radically alter delta environments.[8] Upstream land use change such as anti-erosion agricultural practices and hydrological engineering such as dam construction in the basins feeding deltas have reduced river sediment delivery to many deltas in recent decades.[9] This change means that there is less sediment available to maintain delta landforms, and compensate for erosion and sea level rise, causing some deltas to start losing land.[9] Declines in river sediment delivery are projected to continue in the coming decades.[10]

The extensive anthropogenic activities in deltas also interfere with geomorphological and ecological delta processes.[11] People living on deltas often construct flood defences which prevent sedimentation from floods on deltas, and therefore means that sediment deposition can't compensate for subsidence and erosion. In addition to interference with delta aggradation, pumping of groundwater,[12] oil, and gas,[13] and constructing infrastructure all accelerate subsidence, increasing relative sea level rise. Anthropogenic activities can also destabilise river channels through sand mining,[14] and cause saltwater intrusion.[15] There are small-scale efforts to correct these issues, improve delta environments and increase environmental sustainability through sedimentation enhancing strategies.

While nearly all deltas have been impacted to some degree by humans, the Nile Delta and Colorado River Delta are some of the most extreme examples of the devastation caused to deltas by damming and diversion of water.[16][17]

Historical data documents show that during the Roman Empire and Little Ice Age (times where there was considerable anthropogenic pressure), there was significant sediment accumulation in deltas. The industrial revolution has only amplified the impact of humans on delta growth and retreat.[18]

Delte u privredi

Ancient deltas are a benefit to the economy due to their well sorted sand and gravel. Sand and gravel is often quarried from these old deltas and used in concrete for highways, buildings, sidewalks, and even landscaping. More than 1 billion tons of sand and gravel are produced in the United States alone.[19] Not all sand and gravel quarries are former deltas, but for ones that are, much of the sorting is already done by the power of water.

Urban areas and human habitation tends to locate in lowlands near water access for transportation and sanitation.[20] This makes deltas a common location for civilizations to flourish due to access to flat land for farming, freshwater for sanitation and irrigation, and sea access for trade. Deltas often host extensive industrial and commercial activities as well as agricultural land which are often in conflict. Some of the world's largest regional economies are located on deltas such as the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, European Low Countries and the Greater Tokyo Area.
