	River - MSN Encarta
		A watershed is bounded by the ridges or hilltops that divide it from adjacent watersheds, or drainage basins.
		The third zone of a river is the zone influenced by the ocean or lake where the river ends.
		Braided and straight patterns are usually located in the mountains or hills below the headwater zone of rivers, while meandering and anastomosing patterns are located in the middle and mouth zones of most rivers.

	Braided river - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Braided drainage pattern near the junction of the Yukon River and the Koyukuk River in Alaska, August 24, 1941.
		A braided river is one of a number of channel types and has a channel that consists of a network of small channels separated by small and often temporary islands called braid bars.
		Braided streams are common wherever a drastic reduction in stream gradient causes the rapid deposition of the stream's sediment load.

	Platte River—Braided Rivers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Braided rivers flow across a broad floodplain, covering it with multiple channels of shallow water and loose sediment.
		In the Platte, however, reduced flows and sediment supply have impaired the river's ability to maintain its braided character, allowing forests to become established river and causing the channel to change to a meandering form.
		The Platte River was originally a braided river—wide, shallow and dotted with sandbars.

		Braiding of fiber yarn creates a strand or rope that is thicker and stronger than the strands would have been separately.
		The idea is that braids can be organised into groups, in which the group operation is 'do the first braid on a set of strings, and then follow it with a second on the twisted strings'.
		Braid groups may also be given a deeper mathematical interpretation: as the fundamental group of certain configuration spaces.

		Although the quantitative description of braided river phenomena is at present dominated by static planform characteristics, topographic characteristics and the dynamic behaviour of the morphology are equally important for describing braiding.
		Characteristics describing braided river dynamics encompass the spatial and temporal sequence of events like channel migration, avulsion or chute cut-off, the rate of bar migration relative to bend migration or the range of magnitude and shape of erosion and deposition zones relative to the average sediment transport rate.
		On this basis, the cellular braided river model of Murray and Paola was chosen as a case study to apply the introduced evaluation techniques capturing planform and topographic characteristics as well as some dynamic aspects, as far as it is possible from the sparse set of present methods.

		Braided rivers are particularly common near glacier fronts and in volcanic areas where glacier melting or volcanic eruptions are associated with sharp peaks in sediment supply.
		The deltas of the rivers Rhône, Ebro and Nile in the Mediterranean Sea, and of the river Danube in the Black Sea are examples of wave-dominated deltas.
		Rivers debauching on meso- and macrotidal coasts have mouths that are strongly widened by incoming tides.

		Geologically, the Vermillion River Bottoms is a remnant of the old braided-stream river system that dominated the Mississippi after the last glaciers melted.
		The river bottoms were popular long before Europeans arrived; there are 31 known archeological sites in the Mississippi Valley from the St. Croix to the Cannon River, four of them within a half-mile of the outlet of Goose Lake, near Prairie Island.
		It was a desperate attempt to knock the river into a steady state," said Mike Davis, DNR biologist in Lake City, Minn. "In the meantime the Vermillion has become an increasingly algae-driven system.

	Braided Rivers :: Stronghold Knights :: Ready to serve you!
		Rivers vary because there are many factors that influence them such as their age, the amount of sediment they carry, the climate, their flowing speed and the angle of the river bed.
		Braided rivers form because the water they carry holds so much sediment that the river is forced to split in small streams that constantly change their path.
		Braided rivers are best placed on large open spaces in maps, preferably gently sloping plateau's.

		As the Willamette Valley was settled, though, the complexity of the river ecosystem made it difficult to float logs and crops from Eugene to Portland.
		When combined with urban and suburban growth along the river, the cumulative result was to reduce total channel length by 40-50% and to cut off the river from much of its floodplain.
		The role of River Network is to keep alive the vision of floodplain restoration as one tangible thing that we can do to prepare for the next big flood, and at the same time to help fish and wildlife, water quality and water supply.

		Rivers consist of a channel, bank and overbank or flood plain deposits.
		Braided Rivers - Braided rivers develop when the proportion bed load sediment is high, which produces abundant bedforms and promotes the development of bars, and thus, the braided character of the river.
		When the next flood comes along, the river avulses and does not go back into its old channel which is higher than a new one on the flood plain.

	CHRS - Alsek River - Fact Sheet
		From its origin as a braided stream at the confluence of the Kaskawulsh, Dusty and Dezadeash rivers, the Alsek flows for approximately 250 km across the Yukon Territory, the northern tip of British Columbia and the Alaskan panhandle, emptying into the Pacific Ocean at Dry Bay, Alaska.
		The designated river segment comprises the headwaters and upper reaches which flow through a 5-10 km wide, 16 km long braided channel section and then through a 74 km stretch of big water rapids, canyons, glaciers and floating icebergs.
		The Tatshenshini-Alsek River corridor south of Kluane, from Dalton Post to Dry Bay, and the Dezadeash-Alsek River corridor entering the reserve from Haines Junction, are becoming popular as destinations for white water enthusiasts.

		Prediction of discharge from water surface width in a braided river with implications for at-a-station hydraulic geometry
		The total discharge of small braided rivers can be monitored nearly continuously using ground-based, orthorectified oblique images and a locally derived relationship between mean water surface width in a reach and total discharge with accuracy of the order of 10%.
		However, the prospect of a more universal relation for braided rivers is remote because of differences in channel geometry and hydraulics between rivers.

		These rivers are often found in scarcely inhabited regions and are so dynamic that in-situ measurements are almost impossible.
		In this paper, SAR imagery was used to extract braided river patterns such that their spatial scaling characteristics could be studied.
		From analysis of several reaches of a braided river in Alaska (the Tanana River), self-affine spatial scaling of the river patterns was found to be present under different flow rates and in different seasons when the river was undisturbed (free of external topographic controls).

		Big boulders deposited here form a typical braided pattern overgrown with old spruce forest; the braided river pattern consist of a group of boulder palaeo-bars, te majority of which formed as longitudinal central bars with lee slopes running diagonally to the valley axis.
		Tree-ring increment analysis indicates that the oldest spruces growing on this braided river pattern may be more than 75 years old so that, allowing for the time required for the formation of the initial soil and the succession of pioneer vegetation, the spruces succeeded here around the turn of the 20th century.
		The largest flood, in July 1903, was caused by a precipitations amount not previously recorded; on 9 July 1903 the rain gauges in the northern part of the massif received 200-240 mm of precipitation which generated a flood wave sufficient to transport and deposits very coarse material, forming the braided river pattern.
