Solution

irrigation - d) watering of crops by moving water from a well, a river, or a lake to a place where it does not rain enough to grow crops

Explanation: Irrigation involves artificially supplying water to land or crops to help growth, typically in areas where there is insufficient rainfall.

sandbar - e) a buildup of sand formed by the movement of flowing water

Explanation: A sandbar is a natural formation of sand, typically found in rivers or coastal areas, created by the movement of water.

mouth - i) the place where a river empties into a sea or other large body of water

Explanation: The mouth of a river is the point where it flows into a larger body of water, such as a sea, ocean, or lake.

delta - a) land created by silt deposits at the mouth of a river
