Abstract

This paper provides preliminary analysis on both the morphological characteristics of being wide, curved and branched for braided reach and the influential factors on the channel of the bending braided part. Based on the analysis of a typical river reach as an example, this paper puts forward the channel management ideas for the branched connection reach, i.e. fencing the low beach of the braided reach, limiting the lateral change of the river, firming the bottom land form of the braided entrance area, and shaping the braided reach into a smooth one with reasonable curvature in the dry season.
