Pour chaque combinaison de débit, de largeur du cours d'eau et de granulométrie, il existe une pente déterminée du dépôt, la «pente compétente», qui limite le transport. Pour des pentes inférieures à la pente compétente, il n'y a pas transport de sédiments, ou, en d'autres termes, le cours d'eau n'a pas de capacité de transport.
