Anabranching Rivers

Anabranching Rivers is a fluvial system characterized by a network of multiple interconnected channels that bifurcate and rejoin around semi-permanent bars or islands, distinguished from braided rivers by greater channel stability and from meandering rivers by the presence of sustained flow division.
