There is silt and silt. The finest particles will remain in suspension 
longer and, in the end, you will not see much difference between the 
central flow of the river and its borders. Well, close up maybe some but 
not dramatically so, with some transparency as a bonus, but all depends 
on the power of the stream.




Indeed, but now you are making my work very difficult ;-)

The water transition between river and sea has been designed on 
"planetary" scale. This means that the whole water surface you see in 
the scenes is a huge sphere. It would be nice to control the river water 
from point to point but that would mean a break up of the sphere and a 
difficult design in the end. I am not (yet) up to that I must confess.



Yes, and that is the approach I would prefer for the time being.
