Anastomosing Rivers

Anastomosing Rivers is a fluvial system characterized by multiple interconnected, relatively stable channels that diverge and rejoin around resistant, often vegetated, interchannel beds, distinguished from other multithread river systems by their persistent network structure and limited channel migration.
