The Donjek River of the Yukon Basin is the type for braided rivers showing repeated cycles of deposition, with finer sediments towards the top of each cycle. [20] The Bijou Creek of Colorado is the type for braided rivers characterized by laminated sand deposits emplaced during floods. [20] A portion of the lower Yellow River takes a braided ...

Platte River near Ft. Kearny State Historical Site in Central Nebraska. After the North Platte and the South Platte rivers join to form the Platte River, over most of its length it is a sandy, broad, shallow, braided river.
Braided rivers have a channel that consists of a network of small channels separated by small and often temporary islands called braid bars. Also called braided streams, anastomose streams or anastomose rivers.
A wide variety of river and stream channel types exist in limnology, the study of inland waters.All these can be divided into two groups by using the water-flow gradient as either low gradient channels for streams or rivers with less than two percent (2%) flow gradient, or high gradient channels for those with greater than a 2% gradient.
Braided river channels are broad and shallow and found in areas where sediment is easily eroded like at a glacial outwash, or at a mountain front with high sediment loads. [1] [2] These types of river systems are associated with high slope, sediment supply, stream power, shear stress, and bed load transport rates. [2] Braided rivers have ...
The term anabranching river describes a river with many anabranches, whilst an anastomosing river is an organic-rich subset of this river type. [1] The term braided river describes watercourses which are divided by small islands into multiple channel threads within a single main channel, but the term does not describe the multiple channels of ...
