The Braided Rivers of India – April 17, 2022
The Dibang and Lohiti Rivers, pictured here in an image taken from the International Space Station on May 28, 2020, are tributaries of the larger Brahmaputra River which flows across approximately 2,500 miles from it’s source in the Himalayan glaciers all the way to the Ganges Delta. This image is a great example of a braided river, which consists of a river made up of several smaller river channels flowing in between islands that are highly susceptible to erosion.
