Braided river
network of river channels separated by small, and often temporary, islands called braid bars / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A braided river is a network of small channels separated by islands that are often not fixed. In other words, the river channels wander across a flat area.
Braided rivers are found in places where the river carries a lot of sediment, and when it slows down and spreads out. The river delta of the Amazon River is a good example on a huge scale, and the Waimakariri River is a good example on a smaller scale.
