A stream is termed a braided stream because instead of having one main channel there are many parallel branches of the stream flowing near each other, forming a inter-weaving system of stream branches that resembles hair weaving in and out in a braid.

What is braided stream?
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.

When is a stream likely to meander?
All streams meander to some extent. The most likely time is when flow is consistent and gradient is uniform. See Braided Stream. When a stream has eroded the steep valleys to genteler slopes, the stream flows more slowly.Now water in the stream erodes along the sides of the stream bed rather than along the stream bottom. === ===
