the phrase "by rivers" greatly changes this answer, but I would say North America. It has 1/3 of the world's fresh water and the Mississippi is one of the most sediment flushing rivers.

Otherwise it's oceania, which is slowly disappearing in some places.

THAT'S A TOUGHIE BUT I'M GUESSING SOUTH AMERICA. THE AMAZON RIVER DELIVERS AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF WATER ALONG WITH SEDIMENTARY MATERIAL TO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. BON CHANCE.
