Braided River 1 (diagram design)

A braided river consists of a network of multiple shallow channels that diverge and rejoin around ephemeral braid bars. This gives the river a fancied resemblance to the interwoven strands of a braid. The design was based on diagrams of how the multiple channels form, branch, coalesce and evolve. The inspiration hit me fully formed down to the colour choices when discussing rivers.
