A braided stream is a stream that has small channel capacity with respect to its sediment supply. Basically, there is not sufficient room within the stream valley to deposit all of the sediment and therefore, small islands of sediment form within the stream giving it a braided appearance. Braided streams generally occur at high gradients.
