Braided River Systems

Braided River Systems is a fluvial geomorphological construct characterized by a network of multiple interconnected, anastomosing channels that diverge and rejoin around transient bedforms, distinguished from other river planform types by high sediment mobility, steep gradients, and low flow efficiency.
